T2 VIDEO REFLECTION: Video 5 Green materials selection


This video talked about what is green material. Firstly Green material is abundant non toxic minimal resources and right physical properties of function but also meet regulation, good end of life options and also affordable. Secondly I am thinking is even we have a lot of material could use for design as a designer we should compare many materials and familiar with the material production process and waste. Meanwhile we need know the material physical properties then we could choose the best material for specific design. Thirdly in the video we could use a mug instead the disposable paper cups. This is a good example of what we could do. Most people think we use paper cup for public conditions like party, public working place and nobody want to bring a heavy mug to every where maybe there have a opportunity that we could design a sustainable material durable lightweight cup.
In conclusion there have a lot of opportunity that could change our life. Material selection is a important aspect of sustainable design.
