Packaging is the first part of a product that we come into contact with. Despite this initial interaction, we quickly discard it, contributing further to the increase in waste. We can help reduce packaging waste by introducing more environmentally friendly materials, such as paper and cardboard made from invasive plant species. However, designing such packaging presents an additional complex challenge. In our master's thesis, we developed an online platform to assist individuals in designing environmentally friendly packaging. For the development, we used the Django web framework, which, with its flexibility, enabled us to quickly develop and implement the solution. In the calculations, we used cushioning curves of selected protective materials, where the key parameter is the size of the contact surface between the product and the packaging. Using data based on actual experiments, we validated the use and functionality of the web application.
