Attendees at a new hands-on professional workshop will look at sustainability in packaging and legislative hurdles.

Run by Brunel University and Designplus, the one day course on December 10 will enable packaging professionals and designers to produce sustainable packaging without compromising on design.

The Cucumber Seminars will equip both packaging professionals and individuals within design consultancies to get up to speed with environmental packaging design. After attending, delegates will become their team’s in-house sustainability expert with the knowledge and tools to look after both their turnover and the planet.

Course leader Laurel Miller, of a.m. associates, said: “We see the environmental challenge as something which can really be turned into an advantage, with the right knowledge. We’ve always put great emphasis on making our work eco-friendly, our company ethos being minimal materials, maximum protection.

“Now the environmental challenge has come home to roost with us. Through the Cucumber Seminars we can convey our experience of working with major brands combined with our understanding of designing packaging within an environmental framework.”

The event, which takes place at the Museum of Brands, Notting Hill, is the first in a series in the next six months.
