Everyone knows that junk food is, well, junk. And yet when we’re pressed for time or have limited options, it’s something easy to turn to. Seeing the lack of healthy food options at events in South Africa, The Hardy Boys and THB Disturbance decided to change the face of fast food and also educate consumers.

“The Hardy Boys and THB Disturbance teamed up to create an innovative and sustainable fast food packaging solution for The Edamame Development Program’s ‘The Fair Food Co.’ The Fair Food Company is a fast food initiative, providing a healthier alternative to the junk food that consumers buy at events. They sell steamed edamame beans, which is a healthy and delicious snack, but is not well known by the public in South Africa. The Hardy Boys Saw this as an opportunity to educate the public about healthy eating and sustainable living.”

“For The Fair Food Company’s Edamame beans, we designed a take-away box to be good. The leftover pods from the beans collect in the box itself. The boxes and pods are collected from recycle bins and milled to make paper. The paper is used to make more boxes and so on – a small way to help the planet.”
