Oblikovanje trajnostne embalaže za slaščice

Škerlavaj, Jernej (author), Kuhar, Rok (mentor)

V magistrskem delu je predstavljen moj projekt, v katerem sem za slovensko podjetje, ki se ukvarja s proizvodnjo slaščic, oblikoval trajnostno embalaža za njihove produkte. Koncept temelji na izboljšanju trenutne embalaže, ki jo uporabljajo v podjetju skozi vidik trajnosti. V prvem delu sem podrobno analiziral trenutno svetovno problematiko embaliranja prehranskih izdelkov, raziskal trenutno stanje v podjetju in analiziral izdelke za embaliranje. Prav tako sem podrobno raziskal področje trajnostne embalaže, analiziral primerne materiale in se seznanil s slovensko ter evropsko embalažno zakonodajo. Na podlagi opravljene raziskave v prvem delu sem postavil izhodišča za načrtovalsko fazo, v kateri sem nato razvijal rešitev. Trajnostni element se je v procesu precej spreminjal, saj sem najprej želel z uporabo bolj trajnostnih materialov poiskati primerno rešitev, a se je to izkazalo za neuspešno. Trenutna razpoložljivost razgradljivih embalažnih materialov, primernih za velikoserijsko uporabo v izbranem segmentu, žal še ne omogoča možnosti prehoda na bolj trajnostne rešitve. Končna rešitev je tako odraz optimizacije embalažnega procesa v povezavi s sekundarnim produktom, ki izvira iz ponovne uporabe surovin, ki jih uporabljajo v podjetju.

• Title: Designing sustainable packaging for confectionery

Abstract

The master's thesis presents my project in which I designed sustainable packaging for a Slovenian company engaged in the production of confectionery products. The concept is based on improving the current packaging used in the company from a sustainability perspective. In the first part, I analyzed the current global issues of food packaging in detail, researched the current situation in the company, and analyzed packaging products. I also researched the field of sustainable packaging in detail, analyzed suitable materials, and became familiar with Slovenian and European packaging legislation. Based on the research conducted in the first part, I set the starting points for the planning phase during which I developed a solution. The sustainability element changed considerably during the process because I first wanted to find a suitable solution by using more sustainable materials. However, this proved unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the current availability of degradable packaging materials suitable for large-scale use in the selected segment does not yet allow the possibility of switching to more sustainable solutions. Thus, the final solution is a reflection of the optimization of the packaging process in connection with a secondary product that originates from the reuse of raw materials used in the company.
