PROJECT TITLE

‘The Packaging Lab’

“The packaging Lab” is an initiative to inspire to reduce daily plastic consumption within dry goods as well as increase reuse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Packaging helps shape how we relate to food and how we consume it. My master's thesis deals with the complex problem between plastic littering, food waste and our relationship to the problem. We have to be proud of more than just recycling bottles, we have to reduce and reuse, where the last scenario is recycling. This project aims to inform and inspire as well as facilitate a comfortable transition to sustainable solutions and systems. “The packaging Lab” explores the possibilities of reducing and reusing packaging by experimenting with different materials and challenging our consumer habits.
