“More than a competition, the Student Service Design Challenge is a great learning experience, which enriched our service design skills while teaching us to use design to deliver meaningful experiences for social good.”

“Team RE+ did an amazing job innovating around the complex issue of increased container waste in the delivery food industry due to pandemic-influenced consumer behaviour. I was particularly impressed with how the team designed a creative, sustainable solution for each of the players within the restaurant supply chain using speculative design thinking strategies.”

Assessment coach, Katy Lewis - UX Designer at IBM, Austin, United States

Service concept

RE+ - a reusable container program that uses user data of existing delivery service platforms to help develop a new model which encourages hotpot consumers and restaurants to reuse food containers by providing reusable ones while managing logistics and cleaning services with partners.
