Video Reflection: Giving Packaging A new life

This series "giving packaging a new life" was informative on the recycling process of different materials and what they are remade into. The materials they covered were:

1) Paper

2) Tetrapak

3) Tin plate

4) Aluminium 

5) plastic

6) Glass

Each video showed the process they go through to be reused. This is important for a designer to watch and understand because it is now important to keep in mind materials that can be recycled so that the products we design are environmentally friendly and not damaging. 

What interested me was how in the aluminium recycling process it used less energy to recycle in comparison to the actual manufacturing of the aluminium.
