Project: reducing packaging

We decided to reduce packaging by transforming boxes of food from parallelepipeds to cubes. Indeed the solid that encloses the largest volume in the lower surface is just the cube. We consider a cereal box and, after calculating its volume, we have designed the development of a cube that contained the same volume of the parallelepiped. After performing the necessary calculations, we concluded that making a cubic box instead of a parallelepiped saves about 28% of packaging. We also decided to propose the transformation of the packaging by parallelepiped to cube not only for the boxes of the foods, but also for the boxes of Lego that are very large in spite of containing only a few pieces. Finally we propose to apply a logo to signal to buyers that these products were packed saving more packaging possible.
