A webinar entitled Packaging: Hero or villain in a circular economy, is scheduled for 23 June. It will feature Dr Helen Lewis, a fellow of the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), and Barbara Nebel, CEO of thinkstep-anz.
Lewis and Nebel will discuss tools to assess best circular practice for products and materials share circular economy case studies in the 30-minute webinar.
The webinar will examine ideas about how moving to a circular economy does not automatically mean reducing packaging. When used correctly, good packaging design can be a part of the solution. An environmentally sound option for some products, life cycle and circular economy thinking allow for better design and decision-making to make packaging a truly sustainable sector.
Topics expected to be covered include:
- Tools to assess best circular practice for products and materials: Cradle to Cradle certification, LCA
- Approaches to avoid shifting burdens from across the life cycle of a product
- Case studies
