When it comes to pre-packaged food, there’s generally a lot of non-recyclable waste involved. The new Plate Wrap fits packaging around the microwavable food that then turns into a plate or place mat for your food.

This innovative packaging means there’s no need for water and dish detergent for clean up. And the wrapper’s made of recycled materials, so it fits right into your recycling bin. Though the packaging’s still a concept, this would be a really useful product that would be both good for the environment and a step saver for those quick, heat-’em-and-go meals we’ve all gotten used to.

Let’s hope it finds its way to market. It could be a real winner!
