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.

5.3.2 Rethinking as part of the innovation process

Course subject(s) Module 5. Rethinking packaging

To come up with innovative solutions you need to rethink the current situation. But how do you actually deal with rethinking in an innovation process? In the following video Lise Magnier will explain how to deal with innovation in a system containing multiple stakeholders. She’ll elaborate on the reasons why companies start, or haven’t started, rethinking their packaging to fit a circular economy.

MAIN TAKEAWAYS

  • To successfully implement a sustainable innovation, all stakeholders should be involved and take ownership of the project.
  • To get consumers (who are stakeholders) to engage, convenience and unity are important.
  • Companies are urged to change by legislation and increasing consumer awareness.
  • Is the current brand image a reason not to rethink a product? Question yourself and consumers and use storytelling as added value.
