In a nutshell...

Our goal is to produce reusable food containers for use in small scale food takeaway businesses in Mexico (las Cocinas Económicas) that sell home-cooked food by the liter to customers. These businesses currently use single-use styrofoam containers which end up in landfill. The proposed containers would be made of a biocomposite material of PLA and ground up nut shells, which are currently waste from the Mexican pecan nut industry. We want to reduce styrofoam waste, whilst repurposing a local waste stream. Beyond the Cocinas, these containers could also be used for storing food at home.
