Abstract: A container has a base and a lid defining a first compartment therebetween for storing unused consumable product portions, wherein at least the lid or the base includes a separating element which is stretchable to enable a user to form or enlarge a second compartment for storing used consumable product portions on the other side of the separating element to the first compartment.

Abstract: A container includes a base and a lid defining a first compartment therebetween for storing unused snus, wherein at least the lid or the base includes a reconfigurable wall to enable a user to form or enlarge a second compartment for storing used snus on the other side of said wall to the first compartment. The reconfigurable wall is formed of contiguous polygons configured to move relative to a boundary of the reconfigurable wall and relative to each other under applied pressure so as to be arrangeable in a first, convex configuration and arrangeable in a second, concave configuration. The second compartment is formed or enlarged when the contiguous polygons are arranged in the second, concave configuration.
