My research into recyclable materials
Most materials are now recyclable due to technology, but ideally the use of less packaging can reduce the need to recycle, it would also be a more sustainable way of living. The best recyclable materials are card and paper products this is because most of these products have a small impact on the worlds carbon footprint unlike for example plastics although recyclable these can cause problems if not disposed of properly - even ending up in our own sea life trapping and hurting animals and fish.
Like all materials we should dispose of them properly - some plastics and cards can infact not be recycled to check this you should look at the symbol on the packaging, this will be highly important for our packaging design. Our packaging needs to show clearly that it is recyclable.
Recycling symbols & There meanings?
This can be found on the 'Recycle Now' website.
A lot of my research makes me believe we should be either using recycled products or products/materials that can be used and recycled. For example FSC logo, this is usually seen on stock, paper, card etc... This says that the material used is from a company which is compliant to FSC rules

What the FSC is...
On the second part of my list/map I have made a list of things that can help engage an audience, because sometimes buying food isn't very interactive our aim is to create something will continue to interact with our consumers in our group we discussed some things we could do to help flow this forward...
