Disassembly


From the disassembly we notice the electronic parts are the most hard to recycle and for easy recycle the whole body has better made of the same material.









The 11 hour reflection




The video starts by drawing attention to the fact that so many factors of Earth are polluted, the Earth and human affect each other. The Earth gives us the resources we need to create prosperity and abundance,so the sustainable development is critical. What impact human made on the Earth  one day comes back to affect us by  global warming, natural disasters, changing weather patterns, and so on. So notice that early and change the behavior early will finally protect ourselves.

Human has reached a point where our consumption and level of destruction to the earth are far more exceeded the earth’s ability to replenish and regrow. Our natural planet is not any more has the ability to compensate for our  lifestyle. Evidence and data are presented in the documentary.  From this documentary we need to know the earth’s resources are limited, if we take too much or distribute the nature resource, the results such as global warming will come and finally human suffer themselves.



As a designer, we need to take that into account and make the earth a sustainable future, by the way of .clean energy(solar or alcohol). We must not be selfish anymore and start thinking about the next generations.  In the video Leonardo states “greatest challenge of our time” and we must take action as soon as possible. is the main reason why the earth’s population is shooting at an exponential rate. The petrol and coal are limited, so it will be used up one day, however the population grow every year, increased human require more and more nature resource. so we much find a way to make the development sustainable. For us  the most important thing is to design the product that can lower the consumption of human. 


 Industrial designer in particular need to understand that because industrial designer are people who design and produce daily use product for customer. I think designers are not only designing beautiful products but also need to consider the usage and consumption of materials, energy and environmental impacts. That can be classified  in three stages: production, use of products and the disposal stage. For industrial designer we need to reduce the production by making the product more durable or reduce the material been used and for the disposal process we need to make it reusable or at lease can be most recycle.

CORMARK package design-----Sandwich box


Rationale

 
This product is design for children who age 4 to 11, they need to go to school everyday and the usually need to take some food there.

I first got the inspiration from the straw which can change the shape.

Because children can not finish all the sandwich at one time, if they keep them in the normal sandwich pack, it will make a mass

 

The current sandwhich package has the following feature:

1.Fixed size,one pack of sandwich is always includes two pieces, however child can not finish them one time.Normal sandwich package is not suitable for keeping sandwich because the box is too big and will make a mass.

 

2.One time use, sandwich package is one time use, it can not be reuse.

 

3.Simple graphic, design for sandwich is not attractive to children.

 

And my design have those improvements:

Adjustable thickness,the new package is still can pack two pieces of sandwich, however if child can only finish one piece, they could keep the sandwich in the box for next time, the package can change the thickness.

 

Easy open,the pack is easy to open especially for children.

 

Reusable,when child finish the sandwich, the package can be pressed to be a thin and small piece, it can be reusde for next time.

 

Color,the color of the package is bright and attractive to children.
