“It can involve things like using the same food container for several steps and just changing the lid. There shouldn't be any unnecessary extra work along the way,” says David. Transparent containers increase the chances that the food is consumed. And it must be easy to adapt the containers to serve different needs. “People asked for a coherent system for food storage. Not complicated special gadgets, yet rather simple and straightforward products that can be used often.”

SizeAnonymous reviewerRight size for the fridge
I love these boxes but....Anonymous reviewerOne of the lids snapped the first time used it. This is my second purchase of the same boxes: they're really good quality: thick and sturdy and great for batch cooking. This time though, one of the bits broke off instead of snapping shut. I'm too far away from my nearest store to take it back.

One small drawback.Anonymous reviewerThis square glass dish is brilliant as it can be used for storage or in the microwave. One small drawback is that the dishes get stuck inside each other when stacked so I'm having to put a plastic bag between each to stop this happening.

Story
Helps you take care of food – and the planet
If you want to reduce food waste but sometimes think it’s a bit of a pain to take care of your food, this might help. IKEA 365+ food storage products make it easier to store, save and bring food with you on the go. To get to know more about peoples’ needs, we visited families in several countries. We found out that it’s all about versatility and simplicity.
You've just put leftovers after eating into a food container, but can't find a lid that fits. Or maybe you've put a food container in the fridge with food in it, but you can't see what's inside the food container and completely forget about the food. These were things we heard time and time again when interviewing families about their experiences. “We wanted to develop products to make this easier,” says David Granath, a product developer who has worked with the project. “They should be simple and flexible. And easy to combine and use in ways that suit every household.”
No extra work
Smart and super simple
The IKEA 365+ food containers and lids can be combined and also come in different materials and sizes. They are super simple – and that's the point. “We've put a lot of work into them, for example by seeing to it that all the different parts fit together. But the product itself is simple in a smart way.” We can't solve the entire food waste problem – but we can make it possible for everyone to be part of the solution.

Good for the environment and for your wallet!
