地球暖化環境問題直接關係著人類文明永續的發展,保護地球成為綠色環境已成為眾所矚目的焦點,也是全世界需正視面對的課題。本創作將應用環保材料紙漿模塑(pulp molded)材料為創作材料,以「從搖籃到搖籃」(Cradle to Cradle)所提及產品永續觀點出發為創作方向,重新思考產品生命週期的規劃,達到延續產品的生命週期,與資源的永續循環及減少廢棄物的產生。 永續產品設計的意義是對人、事、物與環境資源的整合與運用,將此循環方式與不斷重複回收使用的環保紙漿模塑(pulp molded)材料相互應用。而在國內較缺乏永續產品設計之思考與方法。本研究藉由國內外永續產品設計文獻與案例的探討,解析歸納出永續產品設計的思考與方法,研擬設計創作架構,且將材料特性加入導入產品實作。(一)應用紙漿模塑(pulp molded)工業材質特性改變易拋棄用品使用模式並提升紙塑製品附加價值(二)紙漿模塑(pulp molded)工業材質在市面上成品多半是工業產品樣貌,應用紙漿模塑(pulp molded)材質進行生活用品設計(三)針對試驗發展出概念進行產品價值驗證,透過焦點團體法方式依據10位業界設計師與專家經驗進行產品價值的撿視與評估。
The design of sustaining product serves as means of the integration and employment of resources in relation to people, things and environment, that is, the mutual application between the way of recycling and repetitive use of the pulp molded material, which thinking method for design is rarely applied for sustaining product around the country in reality. Through the case study on the subject referred to domestic and exterior materials, used it as the design structure of creativity, and applied it to production. What follows are the main purposes of the work: (1) Application of the characteristic of the pulp molded industrial material for a change of the wasteful pattern known as easy-to-abandon; (2) By means of the principle of sustaining product design induced from the said reference, the raise of value for the transformation of environmental materials to consumer products, as well as industrial products; and (3) Effective transformation of the said materials after recycling for repetitive use, the thinking method of design being employed, to else nutrition, object, or product, or return of ecological nutrition, upon the termination of life span of product.
