The basic brown paper bag takes on a new, more architectural form. With folds created like origami, these bags are given an identity of their own. Instead of being thrown out they will be kept and can recycled for other purposes after they are brought home making them a more sustainable choice than traditional paper bags.

This t-shirt company (Amon Clothing) has a simple, fresh looking design that uses sustainable processes. The sustainability is not only found in the materials used but also in the limited edition runs of the shirts. The products and branding undertake a trianglular motif which is used throughout from their letterhead and brochure, to even the folding of their T’s. Nice to see consistency taken so far through an identity.

This sustainable package uses the box in two functional ways. Firstly where the product is contained and transported, and secondly the packaging is used to hang the product. It means this cardboard gets an extra cycle as a hanger before heading to the recycling bin (even if it doesn’t last as long as the t-shirt).

Just what every dog owner needs. Maybe, they’ve made the unpleasant task of poopy scooping, “pleasant”. These doggy bags by JungeSchactel are eco-friendly and 100% biodegradable – no more nasty plastic bags in those land fills! A brilliant example of using smart packaging design to address more than one issue.
