Benefits of technology

This invention is a small storage caddy designed for disposable tableware that can be easily transported and assembled without a supporting table. It is made up of flat platforms attached to vertical legs, and can hold various accessories such as cups, bowls, and knives. The bottom of the legs can have either rubber or wheels for easy mobility. The goal is to make the caddy convenient for use and to promote recycling and waste management.

Problems solved by technology

This method is not only inefficient in that it requires way more space than actually needed, but also takes up valuable table space which could otherwise be better utilized for food containers.
Collecting in this manner inevitably results in huge bags of recycled material.
