According to statistics from Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation in May 2023, food waste increased by 800%, from 1.2 tons of discarded fruits and vegetables per month before bare selling to 10.8 tons per month after bare selling.

Reducing plastic waste vs. reducing fruit and vegetable waste: Finding a balance between the two offers a better solution
The packaging box serves to protect the products and prevent collisions, reducing the likelihood of damage or spoilage when consumers handle and select fruits in the bare-selling section of the store. Consumers are encouraged to return the packaging box for recycling after checkout, allowing it to enter a circular reuse system. This not only protects the food and reduces spoilage costs, but also prevents additional plastic extraction, reduces environmental burdens, and helps achieve a more proactive plastic reduction goal.

According to the report “The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the Future of Plastics” by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, there are currently 78 million tons of plastic packaging globally, but only 2% enters a closed-loop recycling system. To increase the recycling rate within this closed-loop system and prevent plastic packaging from entering environmental pollution, we are collaborating with stores to create a circular economy.
