Valpak sponsors designs for a better environment
5 June, World Environment Day.
Twelve students from the College will be on-hand to discuss their
submissions, entered into one of two categories. 'Spread the Word' looks at changing
consumer behaviour by communicating a strong and cohesive message about carbon reduction
or recycling, whilst 'Shrinking Footprints' addresses the impact of insatiable demand
through eco-design to reduce our dependence on packaging and carbon.
Valpak's Chief Executive Steve Gough commented 'it has never
been more vital to seek new ways to engage with the public on issues such as recycling,
carbon and packaging. Valpak hopes that investment in projects such as these will
help to address the need to move the UK towards a more efficient and low-carbon
economy.'
