Product Service System
We design an education system for kids’ recycle which is located in school. This system will help student realize the different colour of bins such as red bin for general waste, blue bin for paper, yellow bin for bottle and recycle staffs. Also the system will emphasize the colour so that children can throw the rubbish into right bin as well as they will take responsibility to supervise parents’ behaviour. Our target market is 5 to 11 years old children which is the best age to understanding the stage of cognitive. And for a day time, the best memory time is from 9am to 11am and 3pm to 4pm. It is the time during study periods and our system will build the memory of recycle behaviour for children.
Concept
Our concept is kid’s recycle named Recycle “R” us. Our purport is to design a bin that teaches children about how to rightly recycle and garbage classification. Our concept is there really cute bins for a set and one is red, one is yellow and another one is blue. Children will play with the colour and memorize which garbage classification.
At the beginning, we thinking about design really funny bins to attract children to use. However, if the bin with sounds, light and complex it will increase cost and material waste. Like our initial concept, we want to design a bin with games but it has complex shape and it is really hard to clean. And we also thinking about to design a bin with tube, when children throw rubbish into the bin the rubbish will make sound in the tube. But when we considered the cleaning and feasibility we gave up this concept. Finally, we design the bin with simple shape which easy to clean and we try to make the graphic interesting to attract children to use.
Improvement
First of all, I must say that I am really satisfied with all group members (Charmaine Chen, Ruyu Xiao, and Jen Jun Zhu). We all concentrated on this project and profusely share ideas with others. At the first week, we have not chosen the right direction and we did not really understand what product service system is. We only thinking about the product did not consider about the system so that we confusing us about 3 weeks time. During several weeks time, we did lots of research about product service system and our sector, but we cannot handle it so we change our sector after 3 weeks. Based on this experience, we will try to choose right direction in first week instant of waste time. And for the concept part, we need to insist our opinion; do not change everything by tutors requirement, because we deeply understand our design purpose than others.
