Lotus's
Boxes to Beds

Nowadays, there have been changes in consumer lifestyle, with more people shopping through online channels. These changes resulted in a growing number of cardboard box waste in households. On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic strained hospital resources, leading to the construction of field hospitals. Field hospitals created the need for equipment, leading to the beginning of Boxes to Bed project.
