Project 4 / Sustainable Packaging Design

GROUP PROJECT: DEVELOP A CONCEPT FOR SUSTAINABLE PACKAGE DESIGN

Download the lecture from today here

You will work as a group to develop an idea for a sustainable packaging solution for an existing or new product.

 

Things to consider:

Review my lecture and develop a progressive and innovative concept.
REMEMBER THESE IDEAS IN REGARDS TO SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING:
• Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle
• Meets market criteria for performance and cost
• Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy
• Maximizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials
• Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices
• Is made from materials healthy in all probable end-of-life scenarios
• Is physically designed to optimize materials & energy
• Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial cradle to cradle cycles.
• Research brand competition and consumer value.

Think about the package used post purchase which allows you to think now as designer beyond persuasion and information.

Evaluation:
You will be working with a team member(s). Most projects in the professional world are team projects and you must learn to collaborate with others. You are all responsible for equal work load and will get the same grade for the overall project. You will also have to write an evaluation of your partner(s) at the end of the project and give them a grade as well. More details on this in class.

FINAL Deliverables:
A pdf presentation defining the challenge, analysis of your proposed solution and images of the final work. PROCESS BOOK GUIDELINES
