Resumen
Reuse2Repack: Rethinking food packaging for regenerating resources.
The climate and pollution crisis, on one hand, and the resource depletion and scarcity on the other hand, call for new ways of thinking and design packaging, new ways of producing packaging material and new ways of reusing and recycling packaging material. Take part in this transition and join the Food Solution Reuse2Repack.
Together with a team of other students, you will work on one of below approaches to rethinking food packaging.
- Design biobased packaging solutions by incorporating food waste streams
- Design alternatives strategies to recycle and reuse food-packaging material
- Design strategies to replace or eliminate food packaging.
You will be guided in the process by a team of university and industrial mentors, and be immersed into elite innovation and entrepreneurship training. The Food Solution program runs from March to November, a few hours each week.
