Day 03 - Palm leaf box

Day 03 - Palm leaf box 

Often witnessed riding around inside the infamous half-ton pickup trucks, laying down at fruit markets and on highways. This centuries-old craft can potentially give us an insight into how we could benefit from ancient practices and innovate sustainable products beyond metal straws and reusable cotton swabs.

Handcrafted by locals in modest home workshops, the leaf boxes can withstand heavy loads as well as cold and hot weather while providing proper ventilation for fruits and vegetables compared to plastic boxes, which can harm crops by sucking in the heat. Given that the know-how has been passed down over the years, skilled workers can process on a vast scale, resulting in more affordable boxes. The leaf boxes are constructed of a vernacular material that Egypt has an abundance of. The boxes are stackable and make perfect sense to use over plastic, so please consider them next time you need a box!
