A Research on Simplifying Packaging Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Since the problems of environmental pollution and natural resource consumption have become worse, Packaging Industry should take its responsibility of protecting the environment. This article discussed about some serious problems caused by over packaging and made a research on some methodologies on reducing packaging. Among the 3R1D principles, the most important one is “Reduce”. Simplifying packaging could not only both directly save natural resources and reduce environmental pollution but also has a resounding ripple effect across the entire production phase. Through this way, the author tried to find some new solutions to minimize human’s impact to the environment.
