Fun Milk Box for Waste Sorting

1.) Product

The Remilky UHT milk box for children is designed with the colors of the four waste bins: red (hazardous waste), green (organic waste), yellow (recyclables), and blue (general waste). The bright colors are appropriate for children, and the packaging encourages Reuse by providing 20 vocabulary words related to waste that can be cut out and used in a waste sorting game. QR codes on the box give answers about which waste goes into each bin, along with additional fun facts. This product addresses the issue of recyclable materials being disposed of incorrectly due to confusion over the waste bin colors, while also serving as a learning tool for children.

2.) Brand Remilky

The name Remilky reflects the concept of Reuse, with a playful and easy-to-remember pronunciation that appeals to children.

            • Many consumers lack motivation to recycle milk cartons due to the effort required or the lack of accessible recycling systems.
