The majority of plastic waste comes from single-use plastics for food packaging
The growing amount of plastic waste continuously force significant environmental challenges. To be specific, about 12% of South Korea's annual plastic waste derives from food packaging, contributing to environmental degradation.

Pain points
Although I want to use reusable containers, it makes me feel daunting without knowing where to start.
When I first decided to reduce plastic food packaging, I struggled with preparing containers. Moreover, seeing few people around me using own containers was another reason of being hesitant.

Insight
People already realize of the needs to reduce disposable products from food packaging.
At the individual level, the biggest problem, disposable food packaging, has not been immensely reduced.
People mentioned that the most inconvenience thing is the cumbersome process of preparing to use reusable containers.
Problem
1. Preparation complexity
Preparing and using reusable containers are cumbersome, leading many users to easily abandon the trial and barely making effort.

Affinity diagram
To genuinely understand the reasons behind the hesitation
To gain a deeper understanding of the discomfort, we categorized the open-ended responses from survey. We divided the answers from the question "What difficulties did you experience while using reusable containers?": before practicing, during the practice, and after the practice. This classification helped to discover the biggest barriers at each stage.

Insight 1 ⭐️
In the preparation stage, the complexity of the process highlights the need for streamlined guidance and intuitive tools.
Looking at these statistics, I became confident in the need for a feature that provides information to lower the entry barriers.
Insight 2 ⭐️⭐️
During the practice, participants frequently mentioned the hassle of carrying reusable containers.
This underscores the need for a feature that reduces the physical distance required, enabling users to lessen the burden associated with carrying containers.
Insight 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
After practicing, cleaning and maintaining reusable containers were identified as the most troublesome aspects.
This inconvenience serves as a significant barrier, preventing users from consistently engaging in sustainable practices.
Then, how can we help users sustain this practice consistently?
We identified the solution from the responses users provided to the survey question about motivation. Several users noted that seeing others share their experiences would motivate them to try reusable containers themselves. Additionally, the survey question, "Feel free to suggest features you'd like to see added to the application," elicited the following responses.

When designing the process for writing reviews, particularly the menu and container input screens, I faced significant challenges in determining the most intuitive way for users to enter information. During team discussions, we brainstormed various ideas, such as selecting containers through toggles or representing them with icons.
At the end, we ultimately concluded that pairing the menu and container as a single card format for input was the most efficient solution.

Launch & Conclusion
Developing skills in cross-functional collaboration
This was my first project collaborating with a product manager and developers, where I learned the importance of handing off well-organized designs for effective teamwork. With invaluable feedback from experienced team members, I refined my approach and built a structured design system. Through iterative communication with developers, we continuously improved the service and successfully launched it on the Apple App Store. One of the most interesting things I realized was that padding and margin not only directly impact readability, touch areas, and visual aesthetics but also play a crucial role for developers in ensuring code consistency and maintenance efficiency. This concept has continued to influence my work, improving both the design process and collaboration efficiency with developers.

What I learned
Designing for simplicity in input processes
Since this feature introduces eco-friendly information alongside everyday actions, the additional details required careful consideration. To simplify the delivery of both types of information, we tested multiple formats and sought team feedback. Through this process, I realized that trying out different approaches and incorporating feedback is the best way to create an optimal user experience, especially within limited time constraints.
