This project aims to design a system where fresh herbs can be sold in the same constellation as they were seeded and planted. Taking away the need for repackaging of the herbs after harvesting leads to a drastic reduction of material waste.
In the design, the circular economy system is modeled after Svenska Retursystemet and their current flow line: producer → wholesale → retail → producer. Just like to their plastic baskets, the wire frames are intended to be shipped back and forth, with the difference being that they are placed into standard tray trolleys instead of stacked upon each other during transportation. The metal herb pots can be used again or recycled.
