The population of foreign food people has increased, but the huge demand for takeaway meals has caused a large amount of consumption and disposal of lunch boxes and plastic bags. Most lunch boxes and plastic bags are difficult to recycle, and they do not help the recycling of kitchen waste. They become foreign waste in the process of recycling kitchen waste, affecting the environment and ecology. Padecle waste is made of agricultural waste rice husk and straw that can accelerate the decomposition of kitchen waste into fertilizer, and uses low energy consumption to suppress tableware and dinner plates. Users can fold the Padecle waste into a portable take-out lunch box, eliminating the need to use plastic bags or removing tableware from it. After the meal, Padecle waste can be recycled together with kitchen waste and used as fertilizer to create new value for food circulation and bring new environmental protection thinking to take out meals. Padcle waste uses the characteristics of the lunch box made of agricultural waste to be recycled and naturally decomposed into fertilizer together with kitchen waste, providing farmers with improved soil quality and use it as crop nutrients, creating a sustainable agricultural cycle ecology.
