This is a video showing a cardboard box created by Latvian design company Foldlife, which is created simply using one sheet of cardboard and due to its origami-style construction it does not require glue. This means that the whole box can be recycled without the use of any plastic derived components or adhesives and so is more sustainable and environmentally friendly than these other solutions. It is hard to tell exactly how the cardboard is fitted together and how the net looks prior to construction as the company want to keep their secret, but the lid seems to fit on using notches and grooves in the cardboard to keep it closed.
This is a very ecological design, but as the box is handmade it is not a solution that can be mass produced as yet, which would make the product more expensive than other more polluting solutions.
