# Responsible Kite Packaging Lily Li's Versatile Design Can be Repurposed as Storage and Supplies By Meghan Young | Published 2015-01-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kite-packaging References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/12277063/AEROPLAY-Kites) & [lilyli](http://lilyli.ca) [Responsible packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debatin) doesn't have to equate to the type of material used to make the designs as the kite packaging shows. Instead, the kite packaging relies on versatility to make it useful even after it has been opened. Not only are the instructions printed directly on the sleeves holding the fabric neatly together, parts of the packaging are meant to be used in the creation of the kites themselves. The Aeroplay Kite packaging can also be broken up afterwards to be used as [separate storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essentials-platter-design) and even material for other art projects. Lily Li, a designer based in Toronto, Canada, was careful to ensure that each part of the kite packaging is impeccably designed so that no one would want to throw anything away unnecessarily. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Responsible Packaging Versatility:** Reimagining packaging as a multi-functional and reusable product. - **Instructions Integrated Packaging:** Incorporating instructions directly into packaging materials to reduce waste and provide added value. - **Sustainable Material Repurposing:** Finding innovative ways to repurpose packaging materials for other purposes and reduce environmental impact. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Packaging Design:** Designing packaging solutions that enhance functionality and sustainability. - **Art and Craft Supplies:** Creating opportunities for the reuse of packaging materials in art and craft projects. - **Environmental Sustainability:** Promoting environmentally friendly practices in packaging and reducing waste through creative design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reusable Golf Ball Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-ball-packaging.md) - [Treasure Box-Inspired Wellness Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redesigned-retail-packaging.md) - [Separating Eco Carton Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruk-sustainable-packaging-design.md) - [Bird-Shaped Food Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigbilled-bird-food-concept.md) - [Soft Structural Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-project-ara.md) - [Upcycled Surf Kite Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgy-kids-brand.md) - [Winged Storage Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flutterbox.md) - [High-Quality Pizza Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-pizza-boxes.md) - [Parachute Delivery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kirigami-parachute.md)
