As well as being passionate about making informed product choices, consumers today are interested in taking steps to [responsibly dispose of product packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debatin) but this can sometimes be a challenge when helpful symbols or directions are omitted. Packaging platform Lumi released Lumi ID as a way to help consumers get their questions on packaging answered in an efficient way. With Lumi ID, consumers can get the latest information on specifications, certifications and [localized recycling options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfresh-growers-1).

Since there's only a limited amount of space that can be used to convey useful information on packaging, Lumi ID makes the most of [QR codes and mobile devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fazer-remix-30th-anniversary-candy-bag) to provide an extended resource. With Lumi ID, brands can share material descriptions and disposal instructions, as well as other information on their values or overall mission.
