Packaging Radar: A Preliminary Reference for Packaging Design in a Systemic and Complex Context

Abstract

This study aims to generate a referential basis on which the designer can reflect about and explore scenarios during the structural and graphic packaging projects. “Packing Radar (RE)” has been compiled over years of research as it is spread across different sources and areas of expertise. This qualitative research uses content analysis and expert's opinions. The (RE) proposition shows its potential for improvement and diagnosis of sustainable packaging projects, of teaching activities and packaging professionals graduation.

The Use of Organic Residues to Develop Packaging: Tests in Molded Pulp

“…In this context, the research is used for the collective construction (project team and partner companies) of preliminary tests of packaging to be produced from waste. To assist in the collection of data on packaging, the Packaging Radar was used, a reference model developed by Sastre et al, (2020), which considers the theoretical framework specific to each stage of the packaging life cycle, it offers a perspective on the simple and systemic at the same time and serves as a guideline for the design of sustainable packaging. Based on the partner companies, the parameters for preliminary tests were defined.…”

A Embalagem No Contexto Da Economia Circular : Revisão Sistemática De Literatura

“…Os projetistas ocupam um espaço importante na promoção da economia circular em projetos de embalagens, se considerarmos que "todo o resíduo gerado pela embalagem é um erro de projeto que não contemplou as etapas do ciclo de vida e suas interações, ou que foi ineficaz em utilizar uma metodologia projetual em sua concepção" (SASTRE et al, 2020). Este material é dedicado, portanto, a profissionais e pesquisadores que têm esta consciência.…”
