“It has been a meaningful journey, not only professionally but also personally, and we take with us many new learnings about the field of service design. This project has also evolved and expanded our views, thoughts, and habits regarding the environment. What we valued most are all of the insightful sessions with the experts and wonderful challenge coaches.”

“Team Awarewolves took upon themselves a mighty challenge - address the issue of reducing food waste in Sweden. Their work process was open-minded, creative and human-centred, bringing together different perspectives while focusing on single-person households and their unique needs. I enjoyed coaching this lively group of designers that was fearless and intentional about designing a better future.”

Service concept

Plañana - an easy to use service that helps reduce surplus food by assisting single households in reaching a balanced ratio planning for weekly meals. A low-effort assistant that helps them buy only what they will consume, control budget, motivate greener choices and offer the best deals at their favourite stores.
