# Blooming Biodegradable Bowls The Innventia Takeout Container Blossoms When You Add Hot Water By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innventia-takeout-container References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/hot-water-turns-this-food-parcel-into-a-meal-ready-bowl/) & [innventia](http://www.innventia.com/en/) What you're looking at is no ordinary [takeaway carton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-pulp-coffee-carrier), for the Innventia takeout container boasts a few scrumptious features that make it far superior to others. Its materiality and its functionality serve up convenience with a side of eco-friendliness. Hanna Billqvist and Anna Glansén worked with the Swedish Company to produce an [origami-style box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi) from 100% biologically based paper. When you're finished with it, the [disposable bowl can be composted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-carp-packaging). But there's a theatricality to the Innventia takeout container that makes it particularly enticing. It comes compressed and compact with a belt strapped around it; remove this piece and and you'll discover a small hole in the bowl. Simply fill it from the kettle through this gap to prepare your just-add-water meal. As the contents heat up, the carton expands into a generous dish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Biodegradable Packaging:** The trend of using biologically based materials for packaging offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the packaging industry. - **Sustainable Disposable Products:** The trend of creating sustainable and compostable disposable products presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the food service industry. - **Convenient Packaging Design:** The trend of designing packaging that offers convenience and functionality, such as the origami-style Innventia takeout container, provides opportunities for disruptive innovation in the packaging industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Packaging Industry:** The packaging industry can explore innovative ways to create biodegradable and convenient packaging solutions like the Innventia takeout container. - **Food Service Industry:** The food service industry can capitalize on the trend of sustainable and compostable disposable products, offering eco-friendly options to customers. - **Paper Industry:** The paper industry can leverage the trend of biologically based paper to develop innovative and sustainable products like the Innventia takeout container. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seaweed-Based Takeout Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-eat-takeaway.md) - [All-In-One Compostable Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-butterfly-cup.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldibox-2.md) - [Biotransformable Cup Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verigreen.md) - [Collapsible Folding Carrier Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup.md) - [Bio-Based Single-Use Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verigreen-plus.md) - [Fully Compostable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compostable-seed-packaging.md) - [Edible Treat Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treat-container.md) - [Bamboo Hot Beverage Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebration-packaging.md)
