There’s a lot of buzz around sustainable packaging and the circular economy, but where is reusable packaging design going and what are the critical elements for success? Join Reuse Aotearoa for this informative and engaging workshop.  

Designed for packaging and product designers curious about the technical packaging, branding and design considerations of reusable packaging, you will learn about:

• Current trends and considerations for sustainable packaging including future regulation
• What is reusable packaging?
