오세헌 Sehun Oh
abstract
Background Since designers are responsible for implementing the requirements of various environmental laws and policies in actual products and packaging outputs, designers can respond more effectively if they understand the regulations in detail. This study examines the impact of environmental regulations on package design through examples of the EPR system and Green-Dot program in Germany. Methods This study was conducted in the following order and method. First, this study took a broad view of the environmental regulations of major countries to see which of the many environmental laws are particularly relevant to design. Second, this study examined the influence of regulation on design, especially focusing on the German EPR system and the Green Dot program, which is considered to be highly related to design. Result According to the criteria of German Packaging Ordinance, packages are classified into three groups basically: transportation packaging, secondary packaging for distribution, and final packaging for sale. This study analyzed the package design cases which were changed to conform with the Packaging Ordinance by these three groups. Conclusion The ERP scheme and the Green Dot program began nearly 30 years ago in Germany. The package design solutions conforming with the ordinance have since spread around the world and have become familiar to us. Now they look banal to us. However, looking into this topic from the perspective of design will give designers and design researchers the insight about the early history of sustainable design.
