While there are numerous portable food container systems available on the current market, and at every price point, they are lacking several key design features. The market is flooded, but with products that disappoint customers. Therefore, we traced a couple baselines to our project:
> Be one unit, without small detachable parts that get lost;
> Be vertical, to fit into a backpack or briefcase;
> Be waterproof and spill proof (customers want to eat their lunch, not wear it);
> Have built in utensils and a napkin that can double as a placemat;
> Easy to clean;
> Dishwasher Microwave Freezer Safe;
> Include a beverage container;
The selected materials to perform such duties vary between plastic polymers and shape-memory alloys, flirting with the properties that this new range of sources can offer.
