As packaging experts<\/a> you already take on a lot: working with hard to please CEO\u2019s,\u00a0 consumers and marketing people, whose ideas are often easier expressed than executed. So, it\u2019s understandable that one more thing added onto your ever expanding plate might seem undoable but this \u201cthing\u201d is vital\u2014it\u2019s repurposing your packaging.<\/p>\n

For many packaging designers<\/a>, our products have one intended use. Our packaging \u2013which we\u2019ve spent many hours designing, redesigning and so on\u2014is meant to showcase products to the world.<\/p>\n

The problem is, once the retail bags are emptied or the custom restaurant packaging no longer holds scrumptious food, that\u2019s the end of the line for its \u201cusefulness\u201d. Of course, some of the merchandise bags<\/a> and custom paper shopping bags<\/a> get recycled but the majority does not. It heads off to the landfills and with it, all the effort you\u2019ve put into creating your brand equity.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the solution? Designing for upcycling. Whereas recycling takes your packaging and breaks it down so its\u2019 base materials can be remade into a new product, often of lesser quality, upcycling doesn\u2019t break down the materials. Instead, upcycling often refashions the original into something else useful \u2013typically of the same quality as the original. Upcycling helps you retain brand equity over an extended period of time as your packaging takes on more usefulness.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to make a positive impact on your financials and the environment, reuse will ensure both and extend the presence of your packaging in a consumer\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
