Pauline Bulot, Leïla Benaouran, Emeline Marquilly, Marine Raudin, Musée du Louvre, Paris, France For a few years, museum’s registrars understood the nessecity to evolve and work with more sustainable practice. But how do we start when less polluting materials, are not yet available on the market? How can we reconcile the constraints related to preventive conservation and packaging standards while taking into account the life cycle of materials? How do we find time for research without increasing the number of agents or the time available? Registrar’s of the Egyptian department in the Louvre began to work with one question: What existing material do we have now to reduce our packaging consumption ? Our project, which is a work in progress, is to produced a reusable packing solution for zero-waste transport of small and medium-sized 3D objects. It will be especially designed for external storage or exhibition transport by truck. This will take the form of a guide with an all-inclusive solution, from the construction plan, to its management schedule, including crate’s storage and the storage of packaging material for small and less small institutions. Sustainability is also about being inclusive with people, we believe that the Louvre can provided many skills, as a social network that just need to be organized, like good ingredients in a good recipe. The ultimate goal is to help registrar’s community, and to be ready to replace polluting materials with more natural ones when they will be ready and on the market. Let’s go together ?!
