Fast food packaging is creating loads of waste and takes up a big chunk of our landfill space. Each burger is individually wrapped in plastic coated paper and thrown into a paper bag with a few paper napkins. The arts grad student, Andrew Millar, designed biodegradable packaging for McDonald’s from grass paper, which has naturally grease-resistant properties. Andrew visited the restaurants through his work and noticed that people would often rip their bags into a tray, why he designed his bag to open out into a comfortable eating station. The outer part of bag is made from recycled pulp paper, and grease-proof grass paper lines the inside. Both are highly biodegradable and definitely more sustainable than clear-cutting. Via Inhabitat
