In this fluid period in time which the current epoch enters a new era of contemporary, the consumption of products has been overflowing the economy leading to wastage as well as contributes to climate change. Not to mention that too much food is being lost and/or wasted in every country as each second passes us by. At the consumer level, an estimation of 17% of totalled food is wasted whether it be at restaurants, households or even grocery stores. While it is unfeasible to completely eliminate food wastage, providing beneficial tools can help diminish the negative impact towards the microeconomy on top of macroeconomy. For instance, utilising multipurpose bags as a tool for responsible consumption to aid consumers maintain the food or beverages in a state of equilibrium to affirm control of balance. Thus, the idea of creating the HeRa Carrier to ensure the balance and prevent wastage of food was born. It’s common knowledge that when we go to a fast-food restaurant, we tend to purchase more drinks. Despite companies giving out cardboard cup holders, the probability of them falling down is higher since they usually only hold up to two cups at a time. The HeRa Carrier will prevent such atrocities from occurring for it is designed to hold multiple cups while assuring the balance is intact. On top of that, the use of the bag will foreshorten the usage and wastage of cardboard cup holders, undoubtedly making it eco-friendly too. Therewithal, the HeRa Carrier will not only make consumer’s lives easier, it will also be universal for all ages as it has lots of compartments fit for bringing lunch to school, or just bringing food to your relative’s homes.
