T2 VIDEO REFLECTION: Video 3: improving product lifetime


This video tells the relationship between the product and product waste. Through the product life time it inspired me how to achieve the environmental friendly target.
The first point is we should consider the energy waste behind the product. In the video, it said there have 8kg waste behind to produce a mobile phone. If we could extend the product durability we are actually reducing the pollution.
The second point is for designing sustainable product if the lifecycle could without virgin material and waste that means we don’t need more recourse and also we don’t create any waste.
The third point is when designing product we should consider the product intended use. Like the food packaging we cannot design something just used for a second and cost thousand years to be biodegradation in the environment.
In conclusion, extending product life and find a way to design product without waste is important problems that we should figure out. The right strategy should be chosen for specific design.
