From the extraction of the raw material, through the whole process of manufacturing, distribution, use and even to the last phase where the product&#8217;s life ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its objective is to <strong>create designs that do not generate a negative impact on the planet<\/strong>. In such an industrialised world as the one we live in, this type of design is becoming increasingly necessary so as not to continue compromising the resources of future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_eco-design\"><\/span>Benefits of eco-design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practice of eco-design not only brings ecological benefits, but also offers other important utilities. Below, we will tell you the most important ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><ul><li><strong>Less production costs<\/strong>. To manufacture products with ecodesign implies the use of less materials and resources like water, energy, among others, reason why the costs of manufacture diminish.<\/li><li><strong>Considerable savings<\/strong>. An ecodesigned product is designed to use less energy when operating, which in the long term represents an important saving.<\/li><li>It<strong>renews the corporate image<\/strong>. Eco-design will promote a greener image and even open the doors to new markets.<\/li><li><strong>Improve the quality of the product<\/strong>. Taking into account environmental criteria when designing a product will improve its quality, since it will avoid toxic elements that can damage your health.<\/li><li><strong>Innovative products<\/strong>. Putting ecodesign criteria into practice often generates incredible ideas in terms of aesthetics and functionality, resulting in the creation of truly innovative products.<\/li><li><strong>Distinguishing your products on the market<\/strong>. They have an added value that differentiates them from other products on the market, thanks to their respect for the environment.<\/li><li>It<strong>takes care of<\/strong> the environment. Eco-designed products respect the environment at every stage. Thus they guarantee to be the best option to not contribute to the negative ecological impact.<\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guide_to_eco-design_of_containers_and_packaging\"><\/span>Guide to eco-design of containers and packaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the following, we will briefly describe the <strong>steps to be followed for the application of packaging ecodesign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organising_the_project\"><\/span>Organising the project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start the<strong> project of eco-design<\/strong> of packaging it will be necessary to consider the following aspects <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><ul><li>Define who will command and evaluate the whole process.<\/li><li>Establish which are the goals to be achieved with the project.<\/li><li>Determine which specific product(s) the ecodesign will be applied to.<\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Identify_the_environmental_impact\"><\/span>Identify the environmental impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is key to <strong>establishing a<\/strong> <strong>sustainable vision<\/strong> for packaging that guarantees positive results.  This is where it will be necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><ul><li>Carry out research to find out what the environmental impact generated by packaging in its standard version is during all its stages of existence.<\/li><li>Once their impact on the environment has been identified, a decision must be made as to which environmental impact or impacts to act against.<\/li><li>To do this it will be necessary to determine <strong>which product ecodesign tool to use <\/strong>and in what time frame.<\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluate_in_consensus\"><\/span>Evaluate in consensus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential to agree by a majority on the <strong>ecodesign strategies<\/strong> that will bring improvements to the current system of packaging. This is in order to obtain more environmentally friendly results. For this it is necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><ul><li>To take into account the results of the previously selected product ecodesign tool.<\/li><li>Once these results have been analysed, the most feasible ecodesign strategies must be defined from a technical, economic and commercial point of view.<\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Concrete_the_ecodesign_plan\"><\/span>Concrete the ecodesign plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then apply the <strong>eco-design strategies for packaging and <\/strong>proceed to check whether the new eco-designed product:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><ul><li>Has improvements in terms of environmental impact compared to the previous version.<\/li><li>If the product has positive results, it proceeds to apply the relevant techniques for the industrialisation of the new <strong>ecodesigned<\/strong> packaging.<\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Validate\"><\/span>Validate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, you must agree on the basis for communicating the results of the ecodesign process. This is in order to validate that the new <strong>sustainable packaging system<\/strong> means real environmental improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a doubt, <strong>ecodesign<\/strong> is a great alternative to offer our grain of sand for a less polluted world.
