E-learning: five perspectives on sustainable packaging
Striving for the most sustainable packaging is a noble ambition, but it can be complex. Sustainable packaging involves far more than simply changing or reducing the amount of packaging material. What does this entail, and where do you begin? The "Five Perspectives on Sustainable Packaging" model offers insights to broaden your perspective.
Watch the animation video below to get an idea of the various aspects involved in sustainable packaging.
Why are the five perspectives important?
The "Five Perspectives on Sustainable Packaging" model encourages you to take a holistic view of the sustainability of your product-packaging combination. You look beyond the packaging itself, incorporating surrounding factors into your analysis: legislation and regulations, corporate policy and strategy, material selection and the packaging process, logistics, and consumer behavior.
The model allows you to zoom in on the aspects most relevant to your specific situation from each angle, providing background information, tips, and examples to assist you. By considering these five perspectives, you can determine the most sustainable product-packaging combination for your needs.
