What You Will Learn

Packaging is an indispensable part of the modern economy. It represents your brand and critically influences your organization’s sustainability performance. With more consumers becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of packaging, we have seen businesses trying to understand (a) what constitutes sustainable packaging, (b) how to design sustainable and impactful packaging for their products, and (c) what are the implications of doing so.
This two-day interactive course empowers business leaders and innovators to start their transition into sustainable and impactful packaging by equipping them with the latest knowledge, insights, and developments in core sustainable packaging concepts, trends, and consumer insights. Business leaders and innovators will also learn about the different packaging materials, reporting standards, and regulations (e.g., the Mandatory Packaging Reporting in Singapore).
Most importantly, business leaders and innovators will learn how to evaluate and improve the sustainability performance of their proposed packaging and learn how to design sustainable and impactful packaging, communicate their design decisions and outcomes effectively, and achieve their sustainability goals.
