Flat Pack Furniture: Going with flat pack furniture is another great way to save space as well as materials. A great many shapes and functions can come out of using simple sheets of plywood, metal or other flat materials that typically weight and cost less and are better for the environment as well.

Packing as Part of the Product: Another good way to save materials is to shop for items where the packing is actually an integrated part of the product. If more designers thought this way it would go a long way toward reducing the amount of packaging waste on most products.
