SUMMARY:Quo vadis Packaging? A workshop on design trends for food packaging
DESCRIPTION:Quo vadis Packaging? A workshop on design trends for food packaging \nWhat is it about? Plastics-based food packaging is subject to strong pressures to change due to consumer expectations and regulatory demands. Sustainability is of special importance in this regard. Possible ways in the future can be referred to as design trends. Within the Horizon Europe project MAGNO\, we have collected information on packaging design trends. In this workshop\, we want to discuss the future of plastics packaging with you. \nWhat are the contents of the workshop? We have considered various factors of (technical) packaging design and applied a SWOT analysis. In this workshop\, we will present our findings to you. On the other hand\, we would like to work out with you\, how we can imagine and shape the near future of food packaging design. We consider current market trends as well as developments from the world of research. The design trends discussed: \n• Mono-materials\n• Minimalist design / minimalist material use\n• Use of recycled material\n• Biomimicry and bio-based materials\n• Utilization of waste-streams as a material source\n• Biodegradable materials\n• Edible materials\n• Reusable packaging\n• Smart packaging \nWho are we? The workshop will be conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering andPackaging IVV. Within MAGNO\, Fraunhofer IVV is responsible for packaging design trends.\nWhen and where? On the 9th of December\, 1 PM to 4 PM (CET)\, online.\nWhere can I register? https://forms.office.com/e/ZmRPrgJ2ey \nWhat is MAGNO? MAGNO – „Transforming EU food systems with innovative strategies for sustainable packaging“ – is a Horizon Europe project with the goal to develop strategies for sustainable food packaging and to develop tool to assess those strategies. In this context\, we collected information to various aspects around the sustainability of plastics-based food packaging. You can find more information at www.magno-project.eu \nSupporting materials.  \nBe it professionally or privately – we get in touch with packaging all the time. Especially plastics packaging is subject to pressure to change. This leads to some interesting trends in packaging design. With in the @MAGNO project\, we are interested in your assessment (whether you are a professional or a layperson): https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DDAw-X3JGUC-A63WUKFxxIwlk4A-Y5FEoE2oaadpN4dUQjVWRTBaMUpCQVpESjczQ1RJMDJSNEVLVi4u \nCoordinator: \n \n \nPhil Rosenow is a chemist by training\, with a doctorate in computational chemistry from Marburg University in 2016.
