A. INTRODUCTION/RATIONALE

Innovative packaging not only helps things stand out from the crowd, enhancing their

development and success, but it also provides more sustainable and cost-effective solutions

throughout the package's lifespan – from the warehouse and assembly line to store shelves and

the hands of customers. Every year, people witness various changes in the world as a result of

new technology and improved living conditions, such as food packaging innovation to extend the

life of the food we consume. As time passes, all humans have a tendency to find or build

something new. This innovation helps others to alleviate both personal and financial issues. As

new packaging evolves over time, this one is more convenient and manageable.

The food industry is the largest user of packaging materials, even a minor reduction in the

amount of materials used per package can result in considerable cost savings and help solve solid

waste issues. In order to save resources and money, packaging technology has focused on

lowering the volume and/or weight of goods. Source reduction, design enhancement for

convenience and handling, and environmental concerns about packaging materials and processes

have all been noted as trends in the evolution of food packaging

Only a small percentage of food there is sold unpackaged, and food packaging is at the

heart of today's food market. Good packaging cuts down on waste and ensures that food stays

fresh for longer. Packaging is generally considered as, at best, somewhat redundant, and, at

worst, a huge waste of resources and an environmental hazard, despite its relevance and critical

role. Such opinions are formed because, by the time the majority of consumers come into contact

with a package, its job is frequently nearly complete. However, if the world is to feed 9 billion

people, the quality and quantity of food packaging will need to significantly improve.

One of the most important processes for preserving the quality of food products during

storage, transportation, and use is packaging (Kelsey, 1985). It prevents deterioration of quality

while also facilitating distribution and marketing. Packaging's primary functions are protection,

containment, information, and convenience (Kelsey, 1985). A decent package can help a firm

make money while also preserving the quality of the product. Packaging has secondary roles,

such as marketing and sales promotion, in addition to its primary function of preservation.

However, the primary purpose of food packaging is to ensure food product preservation and
secure conveyance till consumption. The biological, chemical, and physical quality of the food

product can all decrease during distribution. As a result, food packaging helps to extend the shelf

life of food goods while also maintaining their quality and safety.

In this study/topic, we created something new in food packaging. Instead of the massively

wasteful plastic packaging that fast-food restaurants typically provide, wouldn't it be great if you

could carry it all in one hand while also reducing waste? That is exactly what our

"Compartmentalized" fast food packaging solution is attempting to achieve. Because of this all-

in-one-hand disposable nature and ease of serving, restaurant owners now find it easy to serve.

Furthermore, they avoid the hassle of washing and they won't struggle with preparing foods.

Previously, other restaurants used plastic glasses to serve ice cream or soft drinks. However, due

to environmental concerns, the packaging industry has converted the widespread use of plastic

into paper cups and boxes. These are useful, environmentally friendly, and reusable.This

compartmentalized is useful for restaurants for a variety of reasons.

B. OBJECTIVES

This study focuses on understanding the value of compartmentalized cups and improving

packaging usage.-

Specifically, it aims to claim the following objectives:

● To determine the importance of using eco-friendly materials for packaging.

● To understand the environmental implications of packaging.

● To understand why food needs to be packaged .

● To attract consumers to buy the product.

a. Attraction

b. Convenience

c. Uniqueness

C. EXPECTED OUTCOME AND BENEFICIARIES

The result of the study will be beneficial to the following:

Country

The first and the major benefit of using our compartmentalized cup is that these are eco-

friendly. Basically, these are made up of disposable materials and thus do not cause any harm to

the environment.

Consumers

The first and most important advantage of using our compartmentalized cup is that it can

benefit consumers in making their lives easier. Consumers will be able to get the food they desire

without having to handle multiple cups if they use compartmentalized cups.

Seller

Our compartmentalized cup can help sellers attract more customers because it can store

not only drinks but also various types of food, which is its main feature. Sellers will have no

trouble preparing food, especially when handing it over to customers, and this is due to the fact

that everything is in one spot.

Marketing

This packaging can be used by marketers to encourage potential buyers to purchase a

product.
 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY

A. RESEARCH DESIGN

…..

B. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

We employed a survey as a research tool. Surveys provide us with some thoughts and

opinions on this compartmentalized cup. This survey consists of following questions:

YES NO MA NEIT
YB HER
E

Is the cup with compartments useful?

Would you get the compartmentalize cup as a storage if you own a

fast food chain, restaurant, or other business?

Do you think compartmentalized cup is helpful to sellers and

consumers?

Do you think compartmentalized cups are for selling only? And not
for personal use?

Are foods the only thing that you can put in the compartmentalized
cup?

Do you think compartmentalized cup can affect our environment

after using them?

After using compartmentalized cup, do you think you can use it

again?

C. RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

Based on the consumers and people I surveyed the importance of compartmentalized cup is to

separate and organize the food to know where the food are stored so that they don't struggle

when they holding something else, and using compartmentalized cup can categorized any

substance according to it's benefits or anything that makes us please, and when they have a
restaurant they got the compartmentalize cup as a storage because it is useful for their restaurant,

especially at the market as it will save both the sellers and the consumers time.
