Description

“InPooli” is a pool-reusable packaging system for fresh convenience meals and snacks in supermarkets. It offers a sustainable alternative to disposable packaging and promotes environmentally conscious consumption. The closure concept, consisting of monomaterial film and frame-shaped reusable lids, was developed in consultation with Fraunhofer IVV. It is based on reduced material consumption and enables watertight sealing of the contents, efficient stacking of empty packages, and easy return to deposit machines. InPooli saves tonnes of single-use waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and resources, and is designed to function within a circular economy: durable, easy to clean, recyclable, compatible with logistics, and communicative.
