Packaging Video Reflection
I found the video ‘How It’s Made’ and ‘Giving Packaging a New Life’ very useful as they cover different kinds of materials and manufacturing process as well as recycling process of the materials being used.
The video introduces me to some of the existing materials out there, from corrugated cardboard, paper, aluminium, tetrapak, glass as well as plastic. They also explain the innovation of recycling each of those materials in details, describing each process step by step.
Corrugated Cardboard is featured first, the video explains how is it made and how they use water and starch as the adhesive to keep them safe as well as the manufacturing process of paper.
Packaging tubes and aluminium is covered next. They talk about the making process of packaging tube; which is very interesting to me, and the characteristic of aluminium and how aluminium is recycled.
The following videos talk about tetrapak, glass bottles and plastic. Tetrapak is one of the most sustainable packaging as they are recyclable as a whole and it offers good quality in storing various types of products. Glass is sustainable as well as they are easy to recycle and abundant.
As a designer it is important to watch these videos as they give deep insight to the existing manufacturing and recycling process and they remind us that selecting the most suitable materials could help keeping the environment safe.
