Abstract

Plastic is one of the foremost common materials being employed in numerous products, from daily use items to transportation. Recent studies have shown that plastic waste is gradually increasing, due to continuously high demand, the inability to degrade quickly and the lack of recycling. Prior design research has addressed the main problems with plastic, including how most plastic products are not biodegradable, whilst any plastics that are considered degradable will become micro plastics in shorter periods. This short research paper will propose a system that could reduce the number of plastics plus identifying three design considerations, which can be implemented in future design concepts to reduce plastic waste.
