<p>Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> *Similar to the [[Product Development Triangle]] ( [[Iron Triangle]] ), the amount of waste a consumable product produces and other factors are locked in a similar manner<br /> *Factors:<br /> **Waste (Think a Slider from the most ardent follower of the [[Zero Waste Philosophy]] to someone who throws their old car batteries at sea turtle nests and dumps their [[WMO]] into the local well etc)<br /> **Cost<br /> **Convenience ( [[Slow Food Movement]] vs (Automated) Fast Food )<br /> **Mobility ( [[SWAP]] )<br /> <br /> =Examples=<br /> ==Food==<br /> *On one side you have fully locally produced “Slow Food” from a [[Food Forest]] done with best practices by loving happy healthy commune members or something <br /> **This is Low/No-Waste (No Packaging, No Transportation Waste/Losses, Good Waste Recycling, etc)<br /> *On the other side you have [[Astronaut Food]] and [[MREs]] / [[Freeze Dried Meals]] for [[Backpacking]]<br /> **Energy Intensive<br /> **Typically stored in [[Multilayer Bags]]<br /> *You can put the astronaut food in inherited porcelain/stainless steel containers, but then you get rid of the Mobility advantages <br /> *You could do a Slow Food Replication of a Fast Food Combo Meal, but then the cost would go up and speed/connivence down<br /> <br /> =What to Take Away From This=<br /> *Know your market/target so as to not get stuck trying to do both 100%<br /> *Do Harm Reduction wherever possible:<br /> **Buy high quality storage containers<br /> **Reduce [[Food Waste]] as much as you REASONABLLY can<br /> **Any “wasted” food can be diverted to non-landfill routes ( [[Compost]] , to [[Anaerobic Digestion]] and other [[Wastewater Treatment Processes]] via a [[In-Sink Food Waste Grinder]] )<br /> **[[Biodegradable Tableware]]<br /> <br /> =Internal Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =External Links=<br /> *</div>
