What's Cooking? - Sustainable Packaging
Design
to satisfy
real needs
as opposed to transient, fashionable or market-driven needs.
The
real needs here are to not add to landfill anything that can't
decompose and to be a renewable resource that can be reused and
degraded without harming the environment.
Design
to enable the separation of components
of the product/material or service product at the end of life in
order to encourage recycling or reuse of materials and/or components.
The
items are biodegradable as they are made from natural substances such
as corn, so it doesn't matter if it is put into landfill as it will
break down into the earth.
Design
to exclude the use of substances toxic or
hazardous to human and other forms of life at all stages of
the product/material/service product's life cycle.
Made
from a natural substance, not harmful to humans with contact to food
and breaks down when at the end of its life.
Design
to engender maximum benefits to the intended audience and to educate
the client and the user and thereby create a more equable future.
Design
to exclude innovation lethargy by
re-examining original assumptions behind existing concepts and
products/materials/service products.
Space
saving elements in lowing the amount of packaging, and it would be
educating the client into new ways of how to look at the design of
how to contain a product in the safe and little as possible packaging
that will not harm the environment.
Design
to foster debate and challenge the status quo
surrounding existing products/materials/ service products.
Bottles
of water or pop can use glass which is a renewable resource,
environmentally friendly and can be recycled.
The
problem is the finical aspect as it is shipping heavy glass, which
takes up a lot of money on the fuel costs of transportation to go
across the country.
The
new product is PET plastic bottles that are recyclable, but is not a
renewable resource or environmentally friendly as the ones that end
up in landfill are impossible or not easy to break down.
Design
to create more sustainable
products/materials/service products for a more sustainable
future.
PLA
plastic from corn, sugar beat or smiler. These are being used by
companies in crisp packets and salad containers. Even if many of
these end up in landfill sites they will biodegrade quickly and
course no harm to the environment.
We
look for:
Renewability
Environmentally
friendly
- Harvesting the raw material
- Manufacturing
- Disposal
- Landfill
- Recycle
- Compost
Financial
feasibility
- Cost effective to produce and sell
What
the client looks for:
Consistent
availability
Durability
Functionality
Cost
