ABOUT PACKAGING DESIGN
Effective sustainable packaging needs a holistic packaging design strategy. This means identifying opportunities for elimination or reduction, evaluating sourcing practices, optimizing for efficiency and transport, and working towards material health. It also means redesigning packaging to address some of the most urgent drivers of climate change – for example, the food waste in retail and consumer’s homes.
