Abstract
The contemporary graphic design industry is at a crucial turning point: combining innovation and environmental responsibility, driven by an urgent need to address escalating concerns of resource depletion and pollution. By designers adopting eco-friendly packaging materials, intentions of sustainability are noted. This project explores the role graphic designers play by moving towards a more sustainable future, particularly through the lens of eco-friendly packaging materials marked as recyclable. It will evaluate the efficacy of these initiatives in promoting environmental sustainability.
Through a multifaceted research approach, this study combines a comprehensive communications audit and ethnographic research methods with questionnaires distributed throughout the community at Ohio Northern University. The goal is to gauge of the use and effectiveness of eco-freindly marked materials.
The valuable knowledge gained, regarding the effectiveness of design and sustainable practices, will provide a better understanding of the role graphic designers play in our environment. Through this comprehensive exploration, the study aspires to inspire research and action towards a more sustainable future in the graphic design industry.
