Cooperation

To let sustainable packaging become a more common thing in this era, i think cooperation between designer and some big company are important too. The reason why it is important is because most of the big company have enough funds to make an interesting advertising to attract most of the consumer. They can introduce the product through tv ads to let consumer know and understand the meaning of sustainable packaging design. Other than that, big company can have cooperation with famous artist which can lead consumer to the road of sustainable world. Those artist can make sustainable packaging as the trend in this era, through this, the new generations will follow this trend in the following years too. This is how important the cooperation between each other, a cooperation can make a little changes and make this world become more beautiful and environmental friendly.

A good packaging design

The packaging of products play an important role in our daily life.A good packaging design not only have to be nice, be a sustainable materials design, but it has to be have other uses for the packaging itself too. For an example, the sponge company Twist began with making products derived from fully sustainable resources, and completed the cycle by wrapping their products in equally sustainable packaging. Twist company have design a special packaging design.Twist's sponge towel packaging can be turned into a colorful bird feeder after consumer open the packaging. Carton board are the materials which used by most of the designers all the time. Their dual function not only to protect and carry a product but act as a reusable object as well.So, this is the most common material that designer will consider to use it. Other than that, a good packaging design have to be a packaging product that will not hurt consumers. Designer have to be alert which kind of materials or design can be safely use by consumer and also have to think of different stratum of peoples who will have to possibility to use that packaging product.

Underlying ugliness of products

Sustainable packaging are something like Art+Science. Its because most of the packaging have to use some science knowledge especially sustainable packaging and combine with the creation of designer. Every product have connect with environmental problem. The most important thing is most of the beautiful product have an underlying ugliness, consumers cant really find out that problem or maybe they dont even feel that this is a problem that happened in this century now. So, most of the designer now are trying to create something which is "total beauty" but not only beauty on the product's appearance! Most of the designer will think of how to make a particular product have more function but they forgot to think about the fabrication of the product which means how to make the product. Nowadays, designer are not only have to think of how they want the product be, but they have to think of how they want consumer and environment  or maybe this world be. So that our world will not have much of environmental problem.

Packaging

The purpose of packaging are to contain and preserve products and to inform peoples about exist of the certain products.But,it is important to ensure peoples health and safety to use that particular product.The most common material that most of the peoples used are cardboard cartons.This is a kind of foldable cardboard and it can be recycle.There are several shops are using this kind of material as their packaging,for example Mc Donalds (happy meal box,burger box, fries box).They just have to print the design onto the surface of the cardboard, after that, they have to fold the net to carton shape, and glue the carton together. It is easy to make it and convenient because it able to fold. Color choosing for the packaging are according to market competition and also must be some reasons behind the colors to represent something. So,most of designer will choose the colors accordingly but not randomly.
Why "sustainable packaging" are more important compare with only "packaging"?This is because sustainable packaging are to improving quality of human's life, our economic,environmental quality and of course social equity( think of our future generations). But packaging are just to contain our products. Sustainable packaging are bio-based basically and are renewable materials. Bio-based/biodegradable products are items that can decompose.Ex: food,garden waste,paper and paper box. Biodegradable material are better for our environment and product suppose to break down easily and back into components found in nature.

Sustainability can avoid poverty

Sustainability design is no longer about 3R's anymore,but it's 6R's. The 6R's are reuse,recycle,reduce,rethinking,repair and refusing. To make a sustianability design packaging,we have to think of these 6R's. Sustainability can avoid poverty in this era,because there are many jobless peoples around the world. The reason why sustainability can avoid poverty are, it create jobs. Most of the company which produce something which is sustainability have to hire workers to help them to produce those things,other than that, not only process product, but design the product, planning also need someone to help them. Sustainability can avoid poverty because sustainability is to produce some product that are not harm to this world, peoples around the world will not get sick or dont have to live in a pollute world, so,this is also can avoid poverty because health is wealth, and this also brings advantage for our next generation as they can continue to live in this world and do business or maybe create more jobs for peoples and make this world better. Other than that, it also strengthen our economy, because more business man can make investment in all those sustainability product company, for example: Melaleuca, it is a wellness company which produce sustainability products. Sustainability not only bring us a non-pollute world, but it also bring us some good advantage such as high chances of getting job and also chances of make investment in all those sustainability product's company, and make sustainability products more famous and people around the world use more sustainability product.

Supply Chain

Biodegradable and (PET) polyethylene terephthalate supply their own chain in industry. For (PET) polyethylene terephthalate, a very famous company,Coke company,they supply chain. They use the bottle that recycle back to make it into other things.Coke company have prepare their own recycle bin to make sure their consumer throw Coke's bottle into the recycle bin that prepared by their own company. After they recycle back their bottle,they use a part of bottle to make it into something new,for example,t-shirt.They can use the t-shirt make it into another new things,for example,chair and  etc.This is the chain that Coke's company supply.For this process,it can make things much more better, because consumer can buy different things but made from a similar product. For biodegradable, after they recycle back their things,they can make it into plastic bags,shopping bags.After they used it,it will become garbage again ,and through some process, it will return to plants again through photosynthesis. Most of the things have their own solution and way to recycle,reuse,reduce, but it take times to make it become a better things, and it also need some planning and cooperate with others company to do this process.
