Metsä Board's Better with Less – Design Challenge is an international packaging design competition created to find new packaging solutions for frequently used and fastest growing types of consumer packages. First place prize is 10,000 euro/$12,000, and one student winner will receive a two-month internship at Metsä Board in Shanghai.
As consumption grows, it’s becoming more important to develop packaging solutions with the use of renewable, non-fossil based materials and a wiser use of resources. Metsä Board recognizes that packaging designers play a decisive role in this and that environmental impacts can be reduced, for example, by making packaging lighter, using renewable materials and making recycling easier.
