지속가능 패러다임의 변화에 따른 패키지디자인의 접근방법에 대한 고찰

Abstract

One of the most powerful issues lately is an environ-mental issue. For the packaging industry eco-friendly trends are positive, encouraging innovation and expansion of packaging materials to replace from Styrofoam and polyvinyl chloride to decomposable bio-degradable plastic. At the social background, the object of this study is to establish the guideline of the eco-friendly packaging to develope environmental strategies. The contents of this research are about the fundamental notions of the eco-friendly packaging, application categories, the present state of the trend of eco-packaging and materials. It also shows policies and regulations, principles, checklist, and analysis the guidelines for eco-packaging. The first principle is to design an environmentally sound packaging cycle that consider all material inputs and energy sources during its whole life-cycle. Second, consider all the multiple elements including cost, quality, marketability, and design. Third, collaborate with suppliers, the scientific community, and designers. In conclusion, as methods of approach for a paradigm shift of sustainable package design, this study suggests three ways which are Bio-mimicry, Natural Capitalism, and Anti-packaging. With the efforts to follow the eco-friendly programs, it will ensure environmental preservation and contribute to cut down expenses for the future. I expect various studies on this approach should be followed.
