ABSTRACT

The Project Reusable Packaging for Shopping: A Contribute to Sustainability is focused on washable, malleable, light and long-lasting packaging with specific characteristics for its convenience of use. Here, we present a study for a set of packages made essentially of textile materials to be used for the purchase of fresh foods and others. The main objectives of this project are to bring sustainability benefits by reducing the use of plastic bags and to facilitate use for buyers in shops, supermarkets and markets. Therefore, the intention is to formalize the project and to divulge it at a global scale, making the product accessible to the consumer, with the collaboration of both academic and industrial worlds.
