Tupperware, a company that has endured for over seven decades, was founded by Earl Tupper in 1946.
The company's inception was motivated by a desire to provide innovative and efficient food storage solutions to households, addressing the challenges of food preservation and waste.
Tupperware is facing a dual challenge. On one hand, the proliferation of plastic waste from Tupperware products poses a severe environmental threat.
On the other hand, the brand has witnessed a decline in awareness and relevance due to shifting cultural attitudes towards storage containers.
