To align with Taiwan’s 2030 zero-plastic policy, we are reimagining traditional market containers through a Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) model. This approach defines a sustainable, plastic-free future for local markets by blending innovative design with circular business strategies.

Taiwan uses over 20 billion plastic bags annually, yet less than 10% are properly recycled. The largest source of these plastic bags, accounting for 30% of the total. A plastic bag's lifespan is only 12 minutes from the moment it's handed to a customer. What are the reasons behind the rampant use of plastic bags and the inability to reuse them? The unfoldable container design not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also allows for easy cleaning by unfolding it without any blind spots, making cleaning simpler and more convenient. The entire system is equipped with vending machines, designed to provide consumers with an immediate alternative for impromptu shopping needs.
