Wrapper-Free Shopping Systems
MIWA is a Food Packaging System that Discourages Food Waste
Alyson Wyers — October 22, 2017
This food packaging system is designed to minimize food waste with a concept dubbed 'precycling.' Czech company Arancia Europa developed MIWA (MInimum Waste) as a way for retailers to sell wrapper-free food.
The company provides waste-free food transportation to stores using tech-embedded reusable capsules. This controls any waste and prevents it from leaving the supply chain. This enables consumers to purchase food instead of packaging. MIWA will fill the customers' "own or returnable eco-friendly containers with the goods of your choice, in a fast and hygienic way." The food packaging system encourages people to shop for only what they need. The MIWA app offers detailed product info, recipes and ways to support sustainable communities. You can also pay using the app.
