Curso de Packaging Responsable

Program Overview

This two-week packaging design program equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to develop packaging that meets product, market, and environmental requirements. Through blended learning, participants gain expertise in materials, technology, and regulations, enabling them to ensure responsible and efficient packaging solutions.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

The program focuses on designing packaging that meets the requirements of the product being packaged, the packaging line, the distribution cycle, use, and end-of-life.

Objectives:

• Gain confidence in participating in the systematic process of packaging development, knowing how to manage the key criteria that condition the final solution, such as:
• Interaction with the product to be packaged
• Compatibility with available packaging resources
• Sectoral regulatory requirements
• Customer specifications and consumer use
• Packaging circularity and end-of-life
• Acquire key knowledge about materials, packaging technology, legal and market requirements to ensure packaging that meets the required functionality in a responsible manner with the environment.
• Responsible packaging allows ensuring maximum functionality with the right type of material, thus guaranteeing the observation of the best circularity strategy for each application (reduce, reuse, recycle, renew).

Teaching:

• Modalidad: The program is taught in a blended format with face-to-face sessions and interactive videoconferences.
• Methodology: Theoretical-practical with the development of a practical case aligned with the interests of the participants, starting from the briefing for the development of a container and presentation of alternatives to evaluate.
• Titulación: IQS grants a certificate of participation to those who have attended the scheduled sessions.
