For the average consumer opening an oyster is a tough job.
For that reason oysters are especially eaten in restaurants or at places where they are presented and opened on the spot. With this oyster plateau, designed for Cooloyster, that's past history.
The plateau is part of a new logistic system that ensures consuming fresh oysters at home, already opened at point of sale. With this system oysters can be ordered at the fish shop, where they are opened and freshly packed in the cooled plateau. The oysters then can be taken away to store them or to consume them directly at home.
The packaging consists of a bottom plate with cooling element and a top plate for six opened oysters.
Cooloyster plateaus are made of Bagasse (sucar cane fibers) a natural, 100% biodegradable and compostable material
(patent pending).
