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.

POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PET)

POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PET) can be recycle many times and it can used in a variety of products.For examples, fiber,strapping or carpet.I would like to talk about COKE company which had take part and join some activities of recycle. In Australia,state government created a 10cent refund on recycling plastic bottles.For Coke company ,they oppose this campaign by use another way to recycle their products. They coperate with other company and  used their own products to create some other useful things rather than leave those plastic bottle there and devastate the environment,so why not make something that useful and can stay it in this world by make it useful for everyone,so that it will not be waste.Pet recycling also created a highest chances of job for the jobless peoples,because the process of recycling also need peoples to process it.
