summary
Why package?
* Protection
* Containment and agglomeration
* Information and communication
* Portion control
* convenience (ship and store)
packaging types
* Primary: material that first envelops the product and holds it. This usually is the smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is in direct contact with the contents
* Secondary: outside the primary packaging, to group primary packaging together
* Tertiary: used for bulk handling, warehouse storage and transport shipping
*Limiting the use of tertiary or secondary packaging is a first way to improve the sustainability of our product!
some guidelines
materialsTry to use local materials from renewable sources
Bamboo Packagingby DELL
Dell has implemented a plan to simplify and revolutionize computer
packaging, selecting local materials close to the site of production. For
example, the bamboo packaging used for the Chinese market, certified
by the Forest Stewardship Council, comes from a forest located in Ji-
angxi Province.
materialsReduce the use of material in your packaging
Clever Little Bagby Puma
Puma has found a way to reduce waste generated by shoe boxes. The
new pack is made of 65% less cardboard. Its design is much simpler,
so it requires less labor and reduces the use of resources for produc-
tion by more than 60% annually. It is also lighter and smaller, so it
cuts down on transportation costs and pollution.
materialsResearch innovative sustainable materials
Flextrus Paperliteby Fibreform
This awards winning packaging solution is based on FibreForm, as
special paper that has unique elasticity and combines added barrier
and sealing properties, and it can be reused. This innovative packag-
ing solution has environmental benefits as well as offering significant
product differentiation due to the its unique appearance and feel.
