REFILLABLE PACKAGING
Refillable packaging has started gaining ground within the skincare and color cosmetics industry. Why is refillable a sustainable option? First and foremost, it reduces the entire package from a disposable package when empty by extending the life of many of the components to multiple uses. So instead of a disposable culture, it slows the process down to increase sustainability.

DEFINING INNOVATION
It is imperative due to fact, that if our current design premise, in general, does not include innovation as a core attribute of your culture of design, sustainable design will be lacking in key attributes that bring about change and you will run into problems that may not be necessarily be solved with solutions you used in the past. Sustainability in general is an after thought in a lot cases and some of your standardized ideas of design will be flipped upside down.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
A Sustainable education, Defining Innovation & applying Design Intent, I believe are crucial points that must be addressed. These 3 main points will help you attain sustainable design concepts that can include, but are not limited to, incorporating recycled material, designing for disassembly, recyclability, reuse or refill, material weight reductions, multi-functionalism, maximize optimizing waste management, energy efficiency, transportation reductions, etc.

MATERIALS
When starting a sustainable packaging design, there are four topics we are going to discuss: Glass, Plastic, Biopolymers and Paper. What is the resource we need to protect and replenish in order to promote sustainability in packaging?
-
PAPER
Paper is one of the most recycled and oldest forms of materials we are discussing. Paper was invented in China around 105 A.D. Paper is derived from cellulose fibers harvested from trees in a virgin format.
-
GLASS
From a sustainability standpoint, glass is an excellent material for recycling and is made from natural resources just like fossil fuel. The issue is how we use it the first time and do we set ourselves up to have a circular product life span.
-
PLASTICS
Plastics have gotten a bad rap for some good reasons and some not so good ones. The one thing people seem to forget is that all thermoplastics are recyclable, but only about 9% of what we make is recycled.
-
BIOPOLYMERES
Recently, Biopolymers have been getting a lot of marketing hype due to increased attention on sustainability.
If you pay attention especially with biopolymers you will see many of the same faults that other materials have when it comes to sustainability. The name itself generates interest from people looking for sustainable solutions.
