COP3 PROPOSAL

1 

what effects do issues surrounding sustainability have on packaging design?

2

I want to research this topic as I have recently completed a brief relating to sustainability. From this I have discovered that it is a topic that I am genuinely interested in. I believe this will effect my practice as because it is an issue that I am interested it I will improve my practice as a whole

3

immediate contexts include 

• aesthetical aspect such as packaging design
• socila aspects such as the environment and how we as hum as are effecting it through the use of too much plastic packaging

Four Capital Model

There are generally four different types of capital in each society. They are namely Human Capital,Financial Capital, Environmental Capital, and Manufactured Capital.  In order to create and maintain the sustainability in the society, those mentioned capitals must be balanced in that society. As an example, too much attention to human or manufactured capital may affect the environmental sustainability. This model put all these four capitals next to each other and talks about this fact that sustainable society is not possible to build without maintaining the balance among these four capitals and maintenance of their sustainability.  Natural capitalism Before the development of Four Capital Model, there were only three capital - namely land, labor, and manufactured Capital - used to be considered for sustainability in the context of the society by existing models at that time. This caused the natural capital to be ignored for a long time and its sustainability not to be considered in the society and as the result, a lot of natural resources were used without proper management. 5 Looking at the visuals and the issues that are surrounding them  looking at examples of visuals and relating them back to a text.  Could create a survey based on packaging in the UK, how much waste people in the UK / Leeds actually waste and the effects that that is having on the environment.
