SAVEIT : A Behaviour-Driven Food Storage System
Name(s) of graduate(s):Yerin Kim
2025
Description
Food waste (FW) is a major global problem, with over 60% of it occurring in households. SAVEIT is an innovative storage system that efficiently organizes food and reduces waste. This rotatable two-way structure naturally enforces the “First In, First Out” principle, improving clarity and accessibility and thus reducing unnecessary waste. Its modular design adapts flexibly to different foods and family sizes, while allowing individual components to be replaced if damaged, maximizing sustainability and longevity. In addition, the intuitive internal sliding drawer structure ensures optimal storage according to the characteristics of the food and facilitates cleaning and maintenance. SAVEIT represents a new kitchen concept that changes consumer perception and behavior to reduce FW and promote a more conscious culture of consumption.
