Application of ecodesign strategies in the creation of board games

Abstract

The study explores the implementation of the ecodesign strategy in the design of board games and their packaging. It also addresses the development of specialized skills in Design and Printing Technologies students, aiming to instill a professional attitude grounded in environmental responsibility across all stages of product creation, from concept to post-use transformation. The integration of ecodesign into academic teaching, supported by methods such as Problem-Based Learning, brings short-term, medium-term, and long-term benefits by promoting the use of natural resources, identifying sustainable solutions, and encouraging environmentally conscious decision-making.
