Thoughts from research II

1 Tissue box: I’ve thought about making the tissue box adjustable to the volumes  of tissues left in the box, by tearing off the top half of the height of tissue box and make the lid come off and reattach to the bottom half. 

2. Tea box: The closing tab is creative yet thoughtful. It prevents accidents like dropping all your tea bags out of your pantry.

3. There is a plastic sheet in between sticky tags. It allows users just to get one tag withought peeling off too many at a time.

4. Icebreaker Package: The design, as well as the material, of the draw increases the product value.

5. Cup Handle: Here is an interesting one. For people who are fond of peral milk tea ( Taiwanese cold drinks), it’s a real hassle to carry the cup without asking for a plastic bag for it. Now they have come out of a brilliant solution for diminishing the use of plastic bags. Simply put the central loop around the cup and use the other two loops on the side as handle. Viola! It’s smart, economical and eco-friendly. Best of all, it’s reusable and you can carry it everywhere by wearing it as bracelets.

6. Chocolate box: I’ve noticed that most of the food packages are composed of a plastic bag plus a paper box. What a waste of materials. Big no no for the sustainability design. What can you do with the paper box since it’s almost impossible to reuse the plastic wraps/ bags. 

7. Royal Albert Soap Package: The package itself definitely adds value to the product. It feels like opening a gift box when you unwrap the ribbon. There is also a folder slab to seperate two bars of soaps. The expensive looking package of soaps distinguishes a great gift from cheap daily necessity .

8. Cereal Box: Well, every time I open and flatten the cereal box and put it in the paper recycle bin, I feel like there must be some other way to recycle the big piece of cardboard. It’s just a waste to throw it away like this. I may further develop the ideas of reusing cereal box apart from making it a breakfast tray.
