Importance Of Sustainable Packaging

- About ecology and sustainable packaging and ethics
The reason to choose to analyse packaging, its sustainability and design, in the theory of Ecology was brought by the fact that it is the biggest thread to climate change, created through the work of graphic designers. A packaging could be the final product of a really interesting idea and extremely beautiful visual result. But even so, given our climate’s state of constant change, if this packaging is not designed to be eco-friendly, sustainable or organic, it already has lost its value and purpose and becomes needless and unnecessary. Such project can instantly join the massive pile of products that threaten the environment.
Packaging at any form and size is produced daily in massive

“Packaging is something physical that is produced from a wide range of raw materials, and so its production and disposal will have important environmental considerations, too” (Ambrose and Harris, 2011). The main idea is that the book looks at Environmental Consideration in packaging, but have gone through the thinking process of what is “wrong and right” in design. It also goes into Sustainable packaging and this section gives an answer to one of the questions I posed, whether it is important to consider ethics in design because it also considers the Ecology “The need to produce sustainable packaging has become more and more widespread as environmental awareness grows about the danger of excessive production, consumption and the generation of waste.” (Ambrose and Harris, 2011) It proves my statement that in this contemporary world we cannot any longer consider only aesthetics without incorporating ethical values in what we design and produce. The book also shows “Life-cycle assessment” and “Waste Hierarchy”. It mentions “Creating Packaging Statements” and “Reusing

The reason for this is that the 2016 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) carried by the Yale Centre of Environmental Law & Policy gave countries from the Scandinavian region their top four places as the eco-friendliest ones in the world. The first place was given to Finland, followed by Iceland, Sweden and Denmark. They have been considered as making the most progression towards an eco-friendly living. A quick example from an article by Benjamin K. Sovacool is the fact that the Nordic countries are determined to be completely ‘fossil free’ by 2050, where Norway, Sweden and Denmark are aiming at consuming entirely renewable energy followed by Finland and Iceland with 80% and 50-75% of it. What is more, the first Environmental Protection Agency in the world was founded in 1967 under the Ministry of Agriculture in Sweden. Nowadays, the laws within the agency play a significant role in handling the ecological issues on behalf of the Swedish Government, not only in its country but in others from the European Union as well. According to an article by Brett Smith (azo cleantech web), the same government’s policies today have succeeded in releasing only 1 percent of solid waste into landfills, where 99
