EWWP - Report Packaging ecodesign trends in 2022
The European Week for Waste Prevention (EWWP) has been held between November 19 and 27, 2022. It is an initiative of the European Commission to develop and promote awareness activities on waste generation and management, as well as consumption resource sustainable. When it comes to household packaging, it is essential to avoid the use of those that are not really necessary and to investigate reuse options to reduce their environmental effect. Ecodesign plays a fundamental role in these necessary containers.
Reduce your environmental effect throughout your life cycle
Ecodesign is a product design model that tries to minimise the environmental effect of a product throughout its life cycle, from conception through waste. In this approach, businesses may include innovations into the packaging itself, making environmental considerations as important as other criteria like as safety or cost in order to advance towards the circular economy and zero waste.
