Course overview

Planet Friendly Packaging Lab is an advanced online course that explores how food packaging affects the environment and how innovative design can reduce waste, emissions and resource use. You will investigate the environmental footprint of packaging through Life Cycle Thinking and discover how circular economy principles can transform today’s linear systems. By examining emerging technologies such as IoT sensors and biomimetic materials, you will learn how deep tech can support more sustainable and higher performing packaging.  

What you will learn: 

  • How to assess the environmental impacts of food packaging through Life Cycle Thinking and apply circular economy principles to design regenerative and low waste solutions. 
  • Deep tech innovations such as IoT sensors and biomimetic materials and how they can be integrated into packaging systems to improve sustainability and performance. 
  • Digital tools including LCA templates, collaborative boards and prototyping software to communicate, evaluate and improve packaging ideas in a visually compelling wa
