Questions 27 – 30 relate to the following case study. Please read the case study carefully and answer the questions.
Puma’s new shoe packaging changes the idea of the shoebox by wrapping footwear in a simple cardboard structure held in place by a reusable bag.
Puma’s new design of shoebox is known as “Clever Little Bag” and was designed by a company led by designer Yves Béhar, see Figure 7.
Clever Little Bag contains 65 % less cardboard, by using a bag made of recycled plastic as the outer layer that holds the inner cardboard structure and has no top/lid.
The bag’s handles slip through a hole at one end of the inner box, securing the bag to the cardboard and providing a plastic bag-free way to carry the shoes.
Due to using 8500 fewer tons of paper, and the new packaging’s lighter weight, Puma expects to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 10 000 tons per year and water, energy and diesel use by 60 %. That works out to 1 million liters of water, 20 million megajoules of electricity, 1 million liters of fuel oil, and 500 000 liters of diesel, see Figure 8.
The Clever Little Bag is designed in a way where there is no need for the top of the box to hold in the shoes. Which waste mitigation strategy is this an example of?
Re-use
Recycle
Dematerialization
Recondition
