EFFECT OF PACKAGING DESIGN AND DESIGNER ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

EFFECT OF PACKAGING DESIGN AND DESIGNER ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The uncontrolled use and consumption of resources in the process of urbanization and industrialization lead to environmental problems, while the differences between groups of people in urban areas cause social and economic negative consequences in terms of utilization of urban resources. For these reasons, sustainability can be regarded as a design problem. In the light of this design problem, it is aimed to discuss that the place of sustainability in new design concept and relations with designer. Study will start with the definition of the concept of sustainability and will continue with the change in packaging design and the relationship established with sustainability in the historical process, and it will end with a discussion of approaches that designers can contribute to sustainable development.
