Nirvana CPH was delighted to present its ‘Sustainable Stories’ Exhibition at the London Design Festival in collaboration with SharpEnd from 18th September 2019 – 18th October 2019. The exhibition was hosted at the G . F Smith Show Space; alongside their collection of innovative and technically advanced papers.
This interactive exhibition presented 5 ‘Sustainable Stories’ for the modern brand & consumer, which demystified the issues surrounding sustainability and how it impacts our every-day lives as well as presenting future production solutions in sustainable packaging.
The featured stories focus on the packaging materials where the need for sustainability initiatives is most relevant: glass, paper, metal, textile and plastic. Each story included the key ingredients to the success of a brand or a product; consumer education, production transparency, innovation and closed loop material scenarios for minimal use of resources. Examples of where technology could help with both minimising the environmental impact as well as communicate the sustainable story were also showcased.
Nirvana CPH also hosted a talks program throughout the exhibition, with leading industry voices, which included:
