For picnics, camping and other outdoor excursions, it's ideal to travel light and leave no waste behind, which is what makes the Fold Project's reusable containers so ideal. While it's easy enough to pack up your food in containers that you already keep at home, what gives this particular set its edge is that it has the ability to be folded completely flat.
The set consists of a cup, bowl, fork and a spoon made from plastic that are watertight once folded into shape. The origami-like sets are scored so that folding is easy, making it easy to eat, clean up a container and flat-pack it to save space on the journey home.
The Fold Project is also in the process of developing more reusable, lightweight and practical picnic essentials like folding seating.
