Task Two - Sustainable Packaging



Eliminates millions of tons of waste

The packaging reduces the shipping and material costs

reduced cardboard use by 65%

Saves 8500 tons of paper only can benefit forests and the environment.

20 million mega joules of electricity.

1 million liters of water.

reduces carbon dioxide by 10,000 tons.


This product/video really I think covers pretty a majority of the 14 points in the eco design manifesto.

Such as

1. Design to satisfy real needs as opposed to transient, fashionable or market-driven needs.
2. Design to minimise the ecological footprint of the product/material/service product, i.e. reduce resource consumption, including energy and water.
4. Design to enable the separation of components of the product/material or service product at the end of life in order to encourage recycling or reuse of materials and/or components.
6. Design to engender maximum benefits to the intended audience and to educate the client and the user and thereby create a more equable future.
8. Design to exclude innovation lethargy by re-examining original assumptions behind existing concepts and products/materials/service products.
9. Design to dematerialise products into services wherever feasible.
10. Design to maximise a product/material/service product's benefits to communities.
12. Design to foster debate and challenge the status quo surrounding existing products/materials/ service products.
14. Design to create more sustainable products/materials/service products for a more sustainable future.
