Innovative Ideas Presented for Zero Waste in Packaging Industry
During the Future of Packaging Consortium hosted by Villanova University, interdisciplinary student teams took part in a “packathon” that tasked them with developing creative solutions to challenges facing the packaging industry. The goal: roadmaps and strategies for driving toward a closed loop (zero waste) smart packaging system by 2030.
Villanova Engineers are inspired to solve problems, think creatively, work collaboratively and innovate in every field.
