With a broad range of contributions from pioneers of sustainability,
Packaging Sustainability not only describes the concepts of sustainability but reveals the logic behind them, providing you with the tools to sift through and adapt to the ever changing barrage of materials, services, regulations, and mandates. The book:
- Enables the designer to make smart, informed decisions at all points throughout the packaging design process.
- Offers a comprehensive overview of sustainable packaging design issues from leading practitioners, designers, engineers, marketers, psychologists, and ecologists.
- Describes materials and processes in current use and helps the reader understand how they interconnect.
With solid information and actionable ideas,
