Abstract

Environmental problems are mainly attributed to the impact caused by our lack of caring towards nature. For instance, the extensive use of polystyrene as a material for disposable food container is found to be hazardous to the environment. In understanding the impact, the designer has carried out an in-depth research on the subject by assessing the sensitivity level among food sellers and users on the negative effect of polystyrene food containers as well as identifying alternative materials that can be used for a new container. Environmental friendly food container for the famous Malaysian cuisine, ’Chicken Rice’, has been designed using biodegradable and recycled material. For better usability, different compartments are provided for soy sauce, soup, chili, rice and chicken which contribute to the uniqueness of the product.
