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.

5.1.1 Introduction

Course subject(s) Module 5. Rethinking packaging

In the previous episodes we have seen several cycling strategies for sustainable packaging solutions. We have looked into the challenges of recycling, the opportunities of biobased materials and the possibilities of reusable packaging. This week we will take it a step further. How can we come up with innovative solutions and how do we implement them? In other words, how can we rethink packaging in order to create a circular system?

Nina Boorsma is another PhD candidate at the TU Delft, who researches the reduction of raw materials use through remanufacturing and reuse. She will give feedback on our Reuse episode from last week, before we get started with our fifth episode.
