OneBox is a container designed to eliminate packaging waste throughout the entire process of harvesting, processing, and transporting produce from local farms to local grocery stores.

This project was done in collaboration with fellow design students Greg Siegal and Zoe Bridges.

Fall 2008




Final solution: OneBox





The current waste cycle: the goal is to reduce waste and increase reuse/recycling/composting.

The proposed OneBox cycle: between farm and stores, OneBox can be reused indefinitely.




OneBox can be stacked together on a pallet for transporting produce and then nested together when empty to reduce storage space.




Refined holes with filleted edges allow for efficient water drainage without causing damage to the produce.
Pin-joint handles flip up to allow for secure stacking, and flip down for carrying or nested storage.
