In this project I look into what grocery stores might look like in the future. The underlying issue is the difficulty of avoiding food waste in a single household (living alone). The properties I look for in a solution are of course no waste, but also freedom and availability for the consumer. That means, I try to think of ways we can maintain spontaneity when shopping for groceries, and not having to plan days ahead.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main issue regarding food waste is inappropriate packaging size. That is the key issue I focus on when thinking about the alternative scenarios. I present two ideas for future grocery stores. The ideas are two extremes. In store 1 there is no packaging at all and consumers can fill small bags by themselves. The inspiration is in the photos. The pros of this store are in the photos, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0In store 2, there is only 1-portion packaging, so the amount of materials used would increase compared to the current situation. I look into modular packaging, meaning that a\u00a0 pack could be opened e.g. only halfway. The pros of store 2 are in the photos. The key finding regarding store 2 is that seemingly packaging material is not as large a problem as food waste. By increasing shelf-life with e.g. smart packaging, while also having them optimally sized, we are solving the bigger issue.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
