“Nearly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions come from takeaway food containers (noissue, 2022).”
The Circular Economy
Corporate and school cafeterias have a frequent return of users in these environments. This leverages the capabilities of the Camelbak Container to be reused, where these individuals can return the product to a designated kiosk at the end of the day
Value Proposition
Harnessing the power of VSS technology, VSS containers would:
keep food warm for up to 8 hours
remain structurally intact
be used as an in-home appliance or a product used outdoors
reduce your carbon footprint due to its ability to be re-used
No More Plastic Waste
These reusable containers are meant to replace single-use containers in pursuit of sustainability
The Camelbak Container would live under the cafeteria system architecture and be used and returned. Users would have the option to purchase, where it can be used as a home appliance
Cafeteria System Flow

Appliance can be utilized and purchased at participating restaurants and cafeterias that utilize these Camelbak containers
