T2 VIDEO REFLECTION: Video 4 light weighting


To create light weight product, we need to consider the material and waste of producing the material, technology process and manufacture process. Like the bike innovation reduce the 55%of weight but make it a lot stranger.
The first point is this video use the comparison of production steel and aluminum waste to illustrate the light weight design impact environmental. Less material is saving less natural material and energy when designers finding out how to use light weighting material.
The second point is even light weight has the impressive environmental benefit, but sometimes it is not the best choice if it is right the improvement and the sustainability will be impressive
The last point is if we cannot find out the way of designing light weighting we could think about the whole system lifecycle and figure out other ways.
In conclusion, designing product for sustainability we should consider more about the material using even the processing of the material production and waste.
