Completion requirements
Assessment 3
Design a Better Product Package
You have checked various product packages. You have discovered that some packaging can be recycled or is biodegradable. Some products use little or no packaging, and some products have many layers of packaging. All this packaging becomes
waste and can harm the environment.
In this activity, you will design a new package for a product. Find a product that you think comes with unnecessary packaging or that you think you can improve. Look over the previous activities to get some ideas of product packaging, or look around your home or go to a store to get more ideas.
