What is the Biomimicry and Sustainable Packaging Research Group?

The Biomimicry and Sustainable Packaging Research Group is a team of researchers and professionals that focuses on the development and advancement of sustainable packaging solutions inspired by nature through the practice of biomimicry. Biomimicry is the study and imitation of nature's designs, processes, and systems to solve human challenges and create more sustainable and efficient products.

The group conducts research to understand the principles and mechanisms behind natural materials and systems to design innovative and eco-friendly packaging solutions that minimize environmental impact, reduce waste, and optimize resource utilization. They explore various aspects of sustainable packaging, including material choices, design strategies, production methods, and end-of-life solutions.

The Biomimicry and Sustainable Packaging Research Group collaborates with industry partners, academic institutions, and other research organizations to develop real-world applications and bring sustainable packaging solutions to market. Their work aims to promote a circular economy, where packaging materials and resources are efficiently used, recycled, or biodegraded, minimizing pollution and the depletion of finite resources.
