Tomorrow Machine is a creative studio based in Stockholm. Through the series This Too Shall Pass, the designers ask if it’s reasonable that it takes several years for a milk carton to decompose naturally, when the milk goes sour after a week.
The packaging is therefore made with the same short life span as the food they contain, like a symbiosis. The oil package can be opened by cracking it like an egg, a highly future forward interpretation of sealing, made of caramelized sugar and wax coat. When the material is opened the wax do no longer protect the sugar and it melts when in contact with water. The smoothie package is made of agar-agar seaweed gel and water only, and is made for drinks with a short life-time and needs to be refrigerated. Rice package is made of biodegradable beeswax, and you open it by peeling it like a fruit.
In a time of high food waste this packaging will force a strong consciousness to food consumerism.
