About the Course: 

Achieving the lowest possible environmental impact can sometimes be challenging, particularly when balancing various environmental criteria with other functional and commercial considerations. The Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPGs) have been established to assist the design and manufacture of packaging that meets the sometimes- conflicting demands of the market, consumer protection and the environment.
Sustainable Packaging ultimately ensures that the design provides the lowest possible environmental impact compared to existing or conventional packaging.
