Bad design no longer surprises anyone. We buy bags with chips, where instead of the product 50% air or we get something different from what is shown on the package. But believe it or not, there is ample evidence on the internet that there is the exact opposite of bad design. It's true, sometimes brands and companies can actually offer products that show that they really care about the people who use them.

Today more and more sustainability industrial designers and engineers are trying to come up with a product that can “do more” for less. These trends are especially relevant in the field of product packaging. Companies around the world are reinventing bottles, boxes, containers to make them more convenient, environmentally friendly, and also trying to endow them with a "second life" after they fulfill their main function. Bemorepanda have compiled a few examples of smart packaging that change our perception. In addition, we invite our readers in the comments to share their samples of smart design.
