Sustainable Shoebox Task (Research)


This is an example of sustainable packaging design, constructed to deliver energy efficient light bulbs. As would befit the contents, the packaging has also been made more environmentally friendly, and is constructed from 88% recycled materials and bears the recycle logo, below which is a blurb which encourages the user to recycle the box when used.

Despite this, there is no guarantee that the user would do so, and the box could still end up being thrown away and ending up on landfill. The non-recyclable materials would be wasted even if the package is sent to a recycling plant and so more could be done to reduce the materials down to just those environmentally friendly ones.
