Re-think packaging!

Re-think how you design so it will have a lower impact in our environment. Reduce or cancel the package for your product. Give the package a function or a second life. Choose your materials wisely; make them easy to recycle or to take apart. Use the least amount of materials. Create services that don’t need packaging. It is up to us designers to decrease the amount of waste produced by our society. In this blog I present different ideas and concepts that may inspire you.
