Stop au gaspillage du pain grâce à un emballage innovant et durable.
English : No more bread waste thanks to an innovated & sustainable packaging.
1. What Problem do you want to solve ?
En France, la baguette est l’un des aliments les plus consommés. Chaque seconde, 320 baguettes de pain sont consommées et produites en France, soit 10 milliards par an. Son emballage pose un problème écologique. Lors de son achat, le pain est emballé dans un sac en papier ou en plastique, immédiatement jetté après. Cet emballage non réutilisable ne permet pas une conservation optimale du pain. La baguette ne peut donc être conserver plus d’un jour sans devenir dure et rassie. Le pain est alors un des aliments les plus gaspillés. En effet, chaque personne gaspille en moyenne 4,5 kilos de pain par an. Ce gaspillage impacte également nos ressources naturelles : Il faut une baignoire d'eau pour produire une baguette. La gaspillage alimentaire et le problème des emballages sont étroitement liés.
English : In France, baguette is one of the most important and ordinary food. French people eat them almost everyday, but there is a problem about its packaging. When people buy a baguette, the seller always packages it with a bag made of paper or plastic, and after people finish the baguette, they throw the paper bag away. Moreover, there is another problem. People cannot finish the baguette so they leave it overnight. However on the next day, baguette will become too hard to eat and they just throw the rest in the trash. The bread wastage represents a huge waste of food in France because each person throws 4.5 kilograms of bread per year. In addition, the bread wastage impact also natural resources. To produce a baguette, it takes the equivalent of a bathtub full of water. Food waste and the problem of packaging are closely linked and strongly decrease natural resources.
2. Why does this problem exist?
Ce gaspillage est en partie lié à la surconsommation, en particulier celle des produits périssables. Le gaspillage alimentaire ne pose pas seulement le problème de la nourriture perdue mais également la surproduction d’emballage. L’emballage assure plusieurs fonctions : le stockage, le transport, la protection, la conservation mais c’est également un moyen pour les marques de communiquer. Certaines boulangeries utilisent un emballage à la fois en papier et en plastique, difficile à recycler. L’emballage du pain d’une part inapproprié pour sa conservation et d’autre part non écologique est la cause principale de ce gaspillage.
English : First of all, there is a growing problem of overconsumption. This problem is often a source of food waste when it comes to buying perishables products. Secondly, if food waste concerns waste of food, it also concerns the packaging waste. They will have served their purpose (product protection, ease of transport) but in vain, because the product was not consumed. Moreover, if we talk about other industries, online sellers use a lot of packaging due to their special process of deal. Food packaging uses plastic because they could keep food fresh and something like oil or water will never permeate through plastic, and the box for shoes is not only for protecting shoes, but for presenting the spirit of company or brand. So do lots of bakeries. Some bakeries use packaging made of paper and plastic membrane together, which makes recycle become difficult. Besides, almost all French people buy it everyday and throw the packaging away immediately. Finally, the bread deteriorates very quickly. The bread becomes stale, dry and leathery due to the water loss of itself. The reason is that we don’t have a proper way and container to keep the baguette from air.
3. What breakthrough are you commited to creating?
Nous voulons créer un nouveau packaging pour la baguette qui permettrait de résoudre deux problèmes : - Réduire l'utilisation des emballages et des déchets en créant un emballage réutilisable. - Diminuer le gaspillage du pain en isolant la baguette de l’air et de l’humidité afin d'assurer son goût et sa fraîcheur et ainsi permettre sa consommation sur une plus longue durée.
English : We want to create a new package for the baguette that would resolve 2 problems: - Reduce the use of packaging and waste by implementing a reusable packaging - Decrease the waste of bread by insulating air and dampness from baguette in order to ensure its taste and its freshness.
