This the worst case of designer brain seizure case I've heard in a long time. It's a fact that this designer have thought more about his design rationnal to make this concept justifyable than actually thinking about the real value to any thinkable user. I understand that it's an attempt to table on the Direct Manufacturing trend but the application this beyound ridiculous.
Even if the guy says, you only use what you need, I doubt this is really an ecological design : you need to put energy a hundred times into a single plastic piece for each use over its life cycle. Ridiculous. Ordinary dishes dont "consume" energy troughout their life cycle plus they are still usable after a 100 use!
Yeah right! don�t people have anything better to invent. I like the way he talks tough, like if it was the best thing ever invented by mankind.
Let�s waste more energy making our dishes than washing them!
How does this address the dirty dish? You toss a dirty dish in to be heated to 300-degrees and flattened with food debris on it? It's a great idea, but what if it breaks? -No dishes until the repair-man arrives. Will it withstand reheating food in a microwave?
I agree, what a messed up idea! Saves landfill? What about all the energy that it will consume when you manufacture plates for every single meal you have. And the noise! Just hideous
