Description of Invention

Growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging has spurred innovation beyond conventional plastic substitutes, contributing to the world's severe plastic pollution problem. This project presents the potato starch takeaway box, a sustainable food container composed of potato starch, a biodegradable and renewable substance obtained from agricultural waste. GreenTato box, which was created as a direct substitute for plastic containers has greater durability and thermal stability while breaking down organically in composting conditions in 90 days. It offers a safe, non-toxic, and ecologically friendly alternative. GreenTato is a step toward a greener, circular future in food packaging, not simply a container.
