PROBLEM​: What is the problem
P you are going to solve?
What information do you already
know about this problem?
There is too high global plastic wastes that humans around the world are producing more and more
every year. Plastic is one of the biggest problems for the environment. They use industrial activity to
produce and to destroy which creates a bunch of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere affecting the
greenhouse gasses which lead to global warming and climate change. More than that, not all products
of plastic is reusable but they still last long as the other products. These products either go to landfills
or just lying around in public places. Landfills are big plain area that has humongous piles of plastic
trash. It is one way of handling plastic trash not to go to the sea but in the other way, it pollutes the air.
It creates methane gas when the trash decomposes. This gas traps heat in the atmosphere 20 times
more than carbon dioxide. Still, there is trash lying around that goes to the sea. These trashes possibly
releases chemicals into the water, get eaten up by sea animals which thought plastic was food and
end up dying for plastic stopping their parts of body functioning etc.

CLIENT​: Who is the client? Our client NGO. (Non Governmental Organization) They are usually non-profit corporations and do
C things to really help humanity.
Why are you interested in designing
for this client?

EVIDENCE OF THE NEED​: What If we solve plastic problems, water pollution will mostly be cleaned out since there are still chemical
E evidence, observations, or ideas do spills and other things polluting the water. Sea animals will stop suffering from plastic. The world will
you have about the nature of the start rebuilding it’s environment and in the future if humanity could keep up with conserving nature, the
problem? world will become a great planet again.

Why has the client asked you to

solve this problem?

EXPLANATION OF The world’s environment have gotten worse every single day. Humanity is causing the Earth to die.
E IMPORTANCE​: Why is this This humans all around the planet in many ways. First, the animals and plants will become extinct. This
problem an important one to solve? causes humans to run out of resources. Later on, the environment will go down and we will have no
 more good air to breathe which causes extinction of humanity or we, humans have to move to mars.
How will solving this problem help
you understand the Global
Context?

DESIGN IDEA 1
Features:
● This is an organizer organizing your stuff that could be used on
tables, shelves, etc.

● It is made out of cardboard glue with hot gun glue together

forming many hexagons as boxes for stuff to be categorized.

● It could be really bad if it meets water so it would be a bit better

with cereal box cardboard, not just the normal thick ones
because the cereal boxes are thin but more durable.
DESIGN IDEA 2
Features:
● This idea solves a common problem of hot oil spilling onto our
arms when we are frying things.

● We could use the top half of a plastic bottle to protect our arms
from hot oil.

● Just cut it and put it through the handle stick.

DESIGN IDEA 3
Features:
● Instead of buying new plant pots, we can use the bottom half of
a big plastic bottle.

● It will save you money and will be another use to waste plastic
bottles.

● Another thing is that this product gives another feeling for plant
pots that it is clear and you can see inside.

Step-by-Step Description: Description of Changes (if any)​:
● I used a marker and permanent a ruler ●
to draw straight lines making squares
of 8cm by 8cm. Obviously not every
piece of cardboard provided have a
perfect measure to get an amount of
8x8 cm squares. The factors I have to
consider is that most of them have
damages so I need to draw lines
making the damages in the leftover
side.
Plan for Next Session:
● I think I will be starting to put it all together with hot glue.

Headline (summary) Of Work:

● Cut out Cardboard.

Date:
Step-by-Step Description:
● I hot glued it together and found out
that it took a longer time than I thought.
I had to glue a lot on each meet of the
cardboard.
Description of Changes (if any)​:
● I chose not to do as much hexagons as
I have sketched in the plannings
because as I continue, the whole
product gets bigger and it is harder to
build. Considering the time left and the
amounto f work left in the design
journal, I chose to use the time left to
finish the design jorunal.

Plan for Next Session:

 ● This is the last step glueand it could be continued just with 8x8 cm sqaured cardboards and a hot gun glue. If you like you could
just spray paint it for th easiest way.

No, but it could be personalized very easily and personally, I like it the way it is because it expresses the beauty of recycling which the variety of
images and the gray color shows that it is recycling product.
