Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.1.1 Introduction

Course subject(s) Module 4. Reuse of packaging

Welcome to the fourth episode of Sustainable Packaging in a Circular Economy. We are now halfway through our course and about to zoom in on the last practical strategy before we start radically rethinking packaging strategies at the end of this course.

Before we start discussing reuse as a circular strategy for packaging, we have to review last week’s work. Jelle Joustra, PhD candidate Circular Product Design at the TU Delft who researches materials and design strategies for circular use of composites, will highlight some submissions of last week’s assignment and reflect upon the discussion on bioplastics.
