DISPOSABLE BOTTLES

Abstract
The study deals with the designing of the new product replacing the disposable bottles. The
single used plastic bottles has been polluting the environment. The issue of environment
degradation is to be solved through bringing on new product which would be easily recycled.
The wastage from the product should be minimised and thus a new design which would be
framed through 80% of paper and 20% plastics is presented.

Introduction
Disposable bottles has turned out to be one of the major environment hazard element. The
problem with recycling of plastics has been adding on to the issue of environment (Xu and
Lin, 2018). The project aims at bringing on new product replacing disposable bottles and thus
saving the environment to some extent. The single use plastic bottles and other products is to
be replaced by new product which would be designed. There has been many efforts towards
this cause, but the reduction in the environment pollution has not been experienced, which is
expected from the concerned design and work.
Literature Review
As per Schnurr and Walker (2019), singe use plastic carries a dangerous impact on the
environment and this has been experienced through the increasing use of plastics around the
globe. Disposable bottles is one of the concerns which has been accelerating the negative
impact of plastics. Single use plastics creates huge amount of wastes which are non-
recyclable. The increasing wastes has been polluting the environment and this has been
impacting the health of the people too. According to Nodoushani et al. (2016), the serious
health issues through single use plastics, includes cancer, alteration of bodily functions,
obesity, etc. Disposable Bottles usage needs to be checked and curtailed through taking on
new products or enhanced ay of re-using the plastics.
Methodology
The disposable bottles, adds on to the waste amount and it needs to be checked through
bringing on new products or substitute for the same. The acknowledgement of the disposable
bottles and its impacts, is the path which could help in realizing the ingredients and the
process through which the hazardous to environment could be reduced. The foremost
transformation that is required in the product is that the single use plastic needs to be replaced
by a multi-use plastic or recyclable plastics. This one solution could help in reducing the
pollution in the environment (Ertz et al. 2017). The observation and designing of the product
needs to be done in a thorough and accurate manner, which would help in gaining some
productive solutions or conclusions. For framing up a new product concerning the disposable
bottles, a framework of new members was done which included an eco-friendly specialist,
product designer, technicians, etc.
The method which has been practiced in the framing up of the new product, which is eco-
friendly included literature review primarily. The first step helped in gaining some idea on

the workings of the various groups in this concern (Davis et al. 2018). This was followed
with brainstorming, where the idea of new product was tested against some benchmarks. This
helped in gaining the idea on the effectiveness and applicability of the product. Thirdly, the
sketching of the product is done, which displays the imaginary picture of the product. The
sketch is to be assessed, analysed through various tools in order to gain the strengths and
weakness of it. This step helped in gaining an improvement and risk list for the product and
thus, it is one of the most significant steps (Hicks et al. 2016). The method included the
SWOT tool, system stakeholder map, radar map, and other tools to acknowledge the products
feasibility and sustainability. The sustainability of the product has been the main concern and
the methodology has been selected with a vision to avoid any loopholes in the product. On
executing all the steps one by one, lastly a checklist and guidelines is to be referred in order
to be sure about the execution of each criteria (Santos and Van, 2016). The product has been
planned with proper identification of the loopholes of disposable bottles and the new design
overweighs each one of it. The new product which is eco-friendly, re-usable and carries no
side effect has gone through each of the stated steps and thus, the implementation and
evaluation of the design is expected to be productive and sustaining.
Implementation
The implementation of the design would include a manufacturing of the eco-friendly bottles
through the ingredient which contains 80% of paper and 20% of plastic. The design framed is
implemented through the processing of the ingredient and then moulding it into the structure
of bottle. The plastic ingredient is expected to provide the bottle with resistant over water and
the paper portion would help in reducing the amount of waste, thus eco-friendly product. The
manufacturing would carry the basic method and it would be processed through quality
check.
Results and Evaluation
As acknowledged through the literature that eco-friendly products could help in saving the
environment for the future generation. The disposable bottles used by the people have been
degrading the environment. The rate of its usage has been increased resulting in huge
quantity of non-biodegraded wastes exposed to the environment. These wastes cause several
health issues among the individuals as well as the animals. The product that has been
designed is beneficial as the new bottles which is 80% soluble and 20% is to be recycled. The
80% paper used for the bottle is soluble, thereby would reduce the amount of wastage in the
environment. The lifecycle assessment of plastic use provided with some specification to the

recycling of plastics. Thus, the new design could help in recycling the plastics. The plastic
waste generated from the new bottles, would be recycled and formed into bottles yet again.
The newly implemented design does not contain huge amount of plastic which will not be
add on to environmental pollution.
As the visualised sustainable bottles have only 20/% of plastic in it, therefore the cost to
recycle it would also be reduced which will not make a significant impact in the economy.
Environment pollution could be reduced to great extent and thus this would work in favour of
the product as well as of the people.
Discussion
The new product is expected to solve the problem of environment pollution and this has been
the main issue of the project. The process and the design of the product could reduce the issue
of environment and thus, it could motivate other disposable items to re-consider its designs
and ingredients. This would be the additional benefit of the product (Iacovidou et al. 2019).
The ethical consideration of the laws concerning the quality and health benchmarks has been
maintained. This adds acceptability to the product. The health problems which were raised by
plastic bottles, that is cancer, obesity, etc. all is solved through the new design (Proshad et al.
2018). The design carries a constraint of adding on the consumption of papers which would
add on to the number of trees to be cut down.
Conclusion
The research included all the possible and productive elements with a vision to deliver some
enhancing and effective results. The methods used in the research has been selected
accurately and specifically which helped in gaining some accurate results. The research
provided with a new design and aspect of disposable bottles which would reduce the
environment hazard substances. Though the results have been productive, it carries a
limitation of being confined to disposable bottles only. The future scope of the research is
wide enough and it could be done on the single use plastics to be banned for health and
environment purpose.
