Mobile Application Oriented to Packaging Sustainability

Abstract

This paper has the purpose of gathering information about packaging materials and their characteristics related to sustainability in order to be applied in a future mobile application. Methodology and applied User Experience Design (UX) techniques are described as well, as those are fundamental to the application development process. An overview of people’s behaviour is also approached, as well as the creation of a simple system to classify different types of packages according to how sustainable they are. The purpose of this project is to simplify the theme and categorize it, to be used as the main content in a future platform. A series of UX techniques and its results are available in this document in order to support the application development. Results are discussed as this paper represent the initial steps of a whole development process. The conclusion shows significant potential for positive environmental impacts through the proposed application’s purpose.
