I consider this initiative very fascinating, not only as a designer who is motivated by these challenges, but because it coincides that in my city (Guayaquil) is being carried a campaign in which the objective is to eradicate the use of plastics in packages.

As you mention, it takes a lot of creativity to make friendly packages for the environment, but the biggest challenge is in our habits. We are so used to plastics that we can’t imagine a life without them. Thats why we need creative minds with enough intelligence to change certain traditions.

Once this is possible, the goal is to be carried out throughout the country and the whole world.

We need to make citizens aware of the damage generated by plastic containers and join the project of a city without them.

Thank you for your comment, Nicole. I think the war against plastic is worthless. We need plastic for our life and for our industry. What we really have to do is to stop throwing plastic where it can´t be recycled and eradicate single-use packaging. That is how we will reduce and recycle plastic waste definitely.
