This document summarizes a design project exploring creative ways to reuse plastic bottles after their initial use. The project aims to minimize waste and encourage recycling. The methodology involves research, data analysis, concept development, prototyping and testing. Initial concepts focus on improved packaging with reuse instructions, exchanging waste for useful products like furniture, and visual communication to inspire social change. The presentation provides background on the inspiration, design brief, methodology, data collection and analysis, project scope, existing products, initial thoughts, and references.

2. Inspiration

3. Inspiration Imagination for the project was kindled by the stories pertaining to the waste of Plastic resource.

4. Design Brief Exploring real time situations of bottle and providing apposite solutions for better use of resource.
Priliminary Task.
To understand the use and reuse of PET bottle.

5. Methodology Primary Research -> Secondary Research -> Data Analysis -> Conceptualising -> Creative Ideation ->
Concept finalisation -> Prototyping -> Testing -> Refinements -> Documentation

6. Data Collection Using available information -> Observation -> Interview -> The current scenario

7. Data Analysis Raw data is ordered & organised.
Recycle Reuse Recover Reduce.

8. Design Brief Creatively Exploring the PET bottle life after use.

9. Design Brief Creatively Exploring the PET bottle life after use.
Definitions:
Creative: Producing alternative line of thinking.
Exploration: Experimenting with the rigid shell body.
AfterLife: Life beyond it’s use.
Reuse: Act of using di erently after reclaiming or reprocessing.
5W
What: Design project 1 of 5th semester.
When: Deadline for this project is Nov. 2010.
Who: Everybody.
Where: Design workshop.
Why: Plastic bottle is here to Stay, so it’s upto all of us to become conscious.

10. Project Scope What we think of as waste can be used to utilize space in e cient manner.

11. Existing Products

12. Existing Products

13. Initial thought Minimallize waste of resource
Bring change among people
Project Area
Visual communication design -> Packaging
Product design -> Furniture & other small useful items
inculcating social change
in society
encouraging people to participate
Improved packaging having
in waste exchange to get
reuse instructions
some product
