Five perspectives on sustainable packaging

Striving for the most sustainable packaging is a fine ambition, but it can be complex. Sustainable packaging is so much more than just changing or reducing the amount of packaging material. What is involved and where do you start? The KIDV model Five Perspectives on Sustainable Packaging offers insights to broaden your view.  

Watch the animation video below to get an idea of the different aspects involved in sustainable packaging.

Why are the five perspectives important?

The KIDV model Five perspectives on sustainable packaging encourages you to take a holistic look at the sustainability of your product-packaging combination. You not only look at the packaging itself, but also include the issues surrounding it in your analysis: laws and regulations, company policy and strategy, choice of materials and the packaging process, logistics and consumer behavior.

The model allows you to zoom in on issues of importance in your situation from each perspective, with background information, tips and examples that can help you further. By considering the five perspectives, you will arrive at the most sustainable product-packaging combination for you.
