The Finnish paperboard manufacturer Mets\u00e4 Board has launched a design competition. Under the motto \u201eBetter with Less\u201c, the company is inviting designers worldwide to create their vision of waste-free packaging. Those who convince the jury of renowned experts can win up to 10,000 euros.<\/strong><\/p>

In the future, the circular economy will determine all consumption. The demand for packaging continues to grow and we need to utilise the design potential in even more innovative ways to conserve our planet's resources. It is therefore necessary to consider the entire life cycle of the packaging: From efficient design to simple recycling and targeted reuse<\/strong> - with the result that no waste is produced. This is a huge responsibility, but also an excellent playground for innovation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
