Companies have made efforts to mitigate the environmental impacts of packaging; however, plastic waste from packaging remains a big issue. This study builds a framework of factors that are important in helping companies reduce the amount of plastic in their packaging. The framework is based on findings from a literature review and five interviews with practitioners. The study found that to achieve a reduction of plastic in packaging, seven factors are imperative in the fuzzy-end stage of packaging design and development. date: 2018-12 date_type: published publisher: Springer Nature official_url: http://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-04290-5_26 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1619037 doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-04290-5_26 isbn_13: 978-3-030-04290-5 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Aranda Jan, Clara lyricists_id: CBARA76 actors_name: Aranda Jan, Clara actors_id: CBARA76 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies volume: 130 place_of_pub: Cham, Switzerland pagerange: 251-262 event_title: The 5th International Conference on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing (KES-SDM-18) event_location: Gold Coast, Australia event_dates: 24th-26th June 2018 issn: 2190-3018 book_title: Sustainable Design and Manufacturing 2018: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing (KES-SDM-18) editors_name: Dao, D editors_name: Howlett, RJ editors_name: Setchi, R editors_name: Vlacic, L citation: Ma, X; Aranda-Jan, C; Moultrie, J; (2018) Development of a Preliminary Framework for the Reduction of Plastics in Packaging.
