Define the Problem
In 2012 33 billion gift cards were produced in the world.
During that year only 9% of all the plastic in the U.S. was recycled.
This means the U.S. as a nation recycled less than 3 of every 33 gift cards the world produced.
Brainstorm Research and Generate We were assigned a gift card to repurpose for use as
a fashion accessory.
Some ideas: necklace
bracelet
phone accessories
comb
floss picks
Criteria and Constraints
The gift card could not be turned into trash art
We had to come up with two products The product had to be a fashion accessory Must come up with primary and secondary
products Design packaging
Develop, Propose and Choose from Alternatives We chose our best few option of: necklace,
bracelet, and comb, and floss picks Narrowed down the options to either a comb
or floss picks Primary product we chose is the comb
Implement Proposed Solution
We started brainstorming different models of our comb
Different ideas included:
just cutting bristles
making a design that folds
double sided comb
