The importance of 3R1D principle in green packaging design


The 3R1D principle means Reduce, Reuse, Recycling and Degradation. These principles of packaging design requirements for the formation of the concept of green packaging design, including packaging, from design to production, use and waste disposal, recycling treatment.

The so-called green packaging, also known as Eco-Packaging (ecological unit). It directly reduces the final waste, and a drastic reduction in the degree of environmental damage. So, in terms meet the basic functions of packaging, improved green packaging at least one package that includes resource conservation and energy production, technology to reduce emissions, reduce the cost movement that links the consumer, so that the excess supply of goods less waste. In this way, the developer of the idea of ​​packaging material, packaging and style of decoration of the structure, and packaging, the use of simple design principles, focus on reducing Excessive consumption of material away.

When resources are used effectively, it helps to reduce the speed of natural resources and reduce emissions. However, after the event processing, disposal, recycling of packaging waste must be additional input of resources and energy in most cases, and many new introductions of pollutants into the environment. If you can, the contents of the resource is too low, the processing means are too complex or too expensive for the collection of packaging waste, and can also use the principles of reuse and recycling is not possible achieve the objectives protection.Designers believes environmental packaging becomes waste after use, you should try the packaging design to facilitate subsequent processing.

The best green packaging is no packaging. Reduce the use of materials directly from the source to resource management in the packaging cycle.which life does not mean that the package is able to remove the decorations redundancy expensive to get rid of all unnecessary parts, Components, Packaging Products for refinement and optimization, packages and products with a high degree of unity. To reduce the material in the package design, the designer can start with a new material, structural packaging and decoration package.
