The Problem
Fast food contributes heavily to environmental waste and pollution. Fast food restaurants alone generate over 300 million pounds of packaging waste each year. While pizzerias are increasingly building community, many fast food chains still ignore their environmental footprint. As consumers place more importance on sustainability, businesses must evolve to align with these values.
My Approach
Developed unique hexagonal packaging inspired by an endangered species impacted by fast food pollution, paired with messaging that encourages communal dining, reduces single-use plastics, and highlights the power of community in driving sustainable practices.
