NakedPak
Bare food dishes without any packaging
How does it work?
NakedPak is a line of zero-waste, edible meals, wrapped in soluble bio-plastic made of agar produced from algae.
The dishes are completely naked - not wrapped in plastic or paper, and to solve the food hygiene problem, the meals are rinsed well with water (just like fruits and vegetables) before being cooked. The dishes are individual meals, ready to be cooked, and contain all ingredients and seasoning necessary for a flavorful result. The entire NakedPak is placed in a pot, cooked while the wrapper melts and adds all the delicious flavors.
This series consists of five meals: Naked Soup, Naked Spaghetti, Naked Curry, Naked Lasagna and Naked Ice Cream.
Why is it needed?
NakedPak was created from the combination of two issues that have been of much interest to me over the past few years- anxiety from the climate crisis and my huge love for food.
For a very long time, food has been transported from place to place with different methods. Today, the natural and sustainable solutions which were used long ago, have been replaced by plastic and paper packaging in huge quantities. Meanwhile, the ocean is filling up with plastic, and according to the forecast- by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than living creatures. (The World Economic Forum)
How does it improve life?
NakedPak is a suggestion for the near future, a vision, a dream. A perspective on the world that is evolving right before our eyes. A world in which we will not want to miss out on being comforted by delicious food.
