ABSTRACT

WITH THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOOD DELIVERY INDUSTRY, THE BURDEN OF SINGLE-USE PACKAGING ON THE ENVIRONMENT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY SEVERE, HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES. THIS PAPER PROPOSES AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION BASED ON INTERACTIVE PRODUCT DESIGN FOR ORGANIC PACKAGING, INTEGRATING ORGANIC TAKEAWAY BOXES WITH A MOBILE APP PLATFORM TO ENABLE THE REPEATED USE OF PERSONAL ORGANIC FOOD CONTAINERS. THIS STUDY EXPLORES THE SELECTION OF ORGANIC PACKAGING MATERIALS, PRODUCT STRUCTURAL DESIGN, APP FUNCTIONALITY PLANNING, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COURIER-BASED RECYCLING PROCESS. THROUGH PROTOTYPE DESIGN, USER RESEARCH, AND DATA ANALYSIS, THE FEASIBILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THIS SOLUTION ARE DEMONSTRATED. THE RESEARCH FINDINGS PROVIDE A NEW DESIGN PERSPECTIVE FOR THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN FOOD PACKAGING, CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROMOTION OF GREEN CONSUMPTION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
