Environmentally conscious product development in the area
of packaging: The Air-Pack
 Belonging
to an environmentally conscious product development is the
reduction of energy and raw materials consumption as well as the use
of toxic substances. The prevention of product expense stands in the
foreground of environmentally conscious product planning (LINDER 1993).
To deal with the danger of an alibi mentality, one should first
look if the product itself makes sense. If the product as such is seen
as avoidable, the problem of product construction is superfluous. If it
is in fact considered necessary, useful or at least justifiable, then the
search for a product with maximum longevity and a production process causing
minimal environmental burden begins.
 In this chapter I introduce a patented alternative in packaging
which I invented and which meets the criteria of an environmentally conscious
product construction.
