Sustainable packaging, the importance of a holistic approach!
The Hybrid Packaging Design 4 Sustainability Conference covers all aspects enabling a circular economy by applying design methods on material, product and value chain level.
This has strong implications on:
Material design
- Decrease material usage
- Improve sortability with current sorting technology
- Biodegradability, yes or no
Article / Product Design
- Design for dismantling
- Decrease material usage or number of components
- Use of digital techniques for design
Value Chain Design
- Changing perception of waste versus valuable material
- How to organize and incentivize the value chain so that sustainable activity is encouraged
- Innovation in ‘waste’ collection methods
- Innovation in ‘waste’ sorting methods
During the Design 4 Sustainability Conference the (inter)national speakers will present their view and experience in this application area.
