Description

Packaging design traditionally assumes a single-use lifecycle, yet this book challenges that assumption by exploring the largely overlooked potential of domestic re-use. Whilst recycling and reduction dominate sustainability discussions, the authors argue that re-use represents the underexplored third pillar capable of significantly reducing material waste and production energy. By examining how consumers actually re-purpose packaging despite limited design consideration, this Routledge title reveals the environmental and economic benefits of every re-used item-one less product purchased means reduced manufacturing carbon and resource consumption. The book combines research evidence with practical insights into why domestic re-use remains a 'Cinderella' strategy and how designers can intentionally create packaging that extends far beyond its original contents, fundamentally shifting the economics and environmental impact of consumer goods.

Key Features

Routledge publication exploring the environmental benefits of designing packaging for domestic re-use rather than single-use disposal.

Examines the underresearched potential of re-use as a sustainability strategy alongside reduction and recycling frameworks.

Demonstrates how every re-used item reduces material waste and production energy by eliminating the need for new product purchases.

Addresses the gap between consumer re-use behaviour and intentional packaging design that supports extended product lifecycles.

Combines research findings with practical design principles for creating packaging with value beyond its original contents.
