Peel Saver - An Environmentally Friendly Container Made of Potato Crisps

The fast-food industry generates large amounts of waste. On the one hand, paper and plastic food packaging, and secondly, food garbage. This waste is causing irreversible environmental damage, which is why consumers are increasingly demanding corporations implement more sustainable practices along with their business processes.

Designed in 2019 by Italian designers Simone Caronni, Pietro Gaeli, and Paolo Gentile, Peel Saver is a 100% ecological and biodegradable packaging made from potato peel waste. The shells are washed and dried, then, thanks to the starch, they easily stick together, forming a cone with the classic shape of potato packaging. After disposal, Peel Saver can be used as animal feed or plant fertilizer.
