About Eco Lettuce Package Matemballasje, dyrkingsbeholder for planter
Eco Lettuce Package er en matemballasje som også fungerer som en dyrkingsbeholder for salat. Bladsalat fortsetter å produsere nye blader når den vannes jevnlig etter beskjæring. Bladene spises, mens røttene beholdes. Emballasjen snus deretter opp ned, vann og innpakningspapiret tilsettes, og planten vokser gjennom hullene. En ny innhøsting er mulig i løpet av noen uker. Innpakningspapiret er laget av resirkulert papir og tilfører næring. Beholderen er laget av PLA, en plantestivelsesbasert plast, og formes ved vakuumforming.

- Research
- We produce 133 billion pounds food per year but about one third of food we produce is not consumed but throw away, it takes a ton of resources(Water, labor, oil and land energy) to produce food. Furthermore, this wasted food is a huge contributor to climate change. when it decomposes, it isn't just stinky. It releases potent greenhouse gases such as methane. Especially vegetables waste, we trow away 60% packaged lettuce. If we buy a lettuce and can continually plant and eat them easily that could be a solution to lighten the environment pressure.
