Sustainable Product Service Systems: Final design and Peer Review

















Collaborative consumption
­­­­­­­As my personal experiences, people living in an apartment do not have much involvement into the living community. And classifying the rubbish is always a problem, especially for batteries. According to the research, 97% batteries end up in landfill. There are no specific battery recycle services for householders; we can only bring the batteries to the special place. Basically, My product service system is to help residents recycle their used battery to power up a light, this will decorate their own building, and sharing public place.

Well…The product will be place on the wall next to the garbage room in each level of the building. Residents drop the old AA and AAA batteries into this recycle system; it then uses the left over power in them to power the light. Then, cleaner will throw those finished batteries into the bin, by seeing the light. Because each battery power up each light, so cleaners will know which battery can be throw away. Battery recycle bin will be ­hanged at the back of the general recycle bin. Cleaners’ behaviour will not be changed as they usually clear all the bins everyday in the morning. A statistics sheet posts on the garbage door, says that 90% residents in this building recycle their battery to light up our building. It will encourage people use this system. And I only did these two types is because Base on research, primary battery inputs are mainly these two types. 43% aa battery and 29% aaa battery . Other types battery can straight to the battery recycle bin.

I think. When you putting your used battery into this product service system, you will receive a joy by the light, feel responsible to your building by classifying the rubbish, and sharing the public place by decorating place.

    i really like ur ideal about reuse the battery in different way as normal, but if it could be more useful such as the power in battery can help people who living apartment charge their mobile phone in some emergency situation that could be more useful and helpful than decoration .

    I like the idea of generation secondary light power by collaboration of used batteries. It definitely helps reduce wastage going into landfill. I also agree with Aki that your design could be more useful if there was further system not only power light feature.

    Your design is very environmental friendly. I like you consider about the children in your design to eduate them have sustainable consciousness. For the improvement, how do people know the battery still have the left power? Maybe you could also show it on the poster.

    Excellent design. It is annoyed to deal with the battery. Somehow, i do not where to return or collect the battery. Your design help to recycle the battery and reduce wastage. Maybe think about more useful way of the panel. And detail view of how to hang the box to the rubbish bin.
