The reusable foodware project

Me, Helene and Pouria have a project that we are going to work with for seven weeks in Canada. The client we are going to work for is the City of Vancouver. City of Vancouver works with enhancing community and individual well being. They serve to protect and improve the environment. Their mission is to create a great city of communities, which cares about its people, its environment and the opportunities to live, work and prosper

The City of Vancouver is working with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Organizing Committee and Federal Government partners to reduce waste for the Winter Olympics. To design, test, modify and retest waste reduction systems in the years leading up to the Games.

Our project is to provide Olympic volunteers, & spectators, with an ‘Olympic Lunch kit’. The City of Vancouver would like to problem-solve various aspects of reusable food ware in a retail node with a high restaurant density. We are researching the opportunities, surveying restaurants and customers, designing the system & reusable container, and running real-world tests with sketch prototypes.
