There is too much food and drink packaging waste in the world. We had the idea to buy in bulk to eliminate individual packaging. In your apartment building, they buy enough for everyone, less packaging, less price, and the food and drink is delivered automatically to the individual fridges of the people living in the apartment.
The Packageless Fridge
Fridge with incorporated "online shop". Groceries are transported directly to your fridge via a plumbing system in your building.
