We can learn a lot from these low-cost, simple, effective and often very sustainable solutions. In Europe most packaging waste is recycled into new materials or burned to generate energy. In Thailand glass […]
The reality check project by Design for Good of the home compostability of the certified biodegradable packaging foil of Lovechock is now captured in a 1 minute 42 seconds YouTube movie. The degradation of the foil is visualized very well. Check it out! BKX7Z225NHAJ
