The Sustainable Packaging course is a key subject within the Certificate of Packaging Science. The purpose of this course is to guide the responsible development and use of packaging that reduces environmental impact and ecological footprint. It includes a study of the complete supply chain using Life Cycle Assessment tools. The course presents implications of performance and cost, making sure that learners understand that a sustainable package must be functional, cost-effective, and support long-term human and ecological health. Learners will walk away with a playbook of strategies they can immediately implement to improve their packaging’s sustainability.
