Innovative Design of Eco-Friendly Bottles: Reducing Plastic Pollution

This report explores the design and development of a new eco-friendly bottle to replace disposable plastic bottles, addressing the environmental hazards associated with single-use plastics. The project includes a comprehensive literature review analyzing the impact of disposable bottles, followed by a detailed methodology that encompasses literature review, brainstorming, sketching, and the use of tools like SWOT analysis and radar maps to assess feasibility and sustainability. The design involves a bottle composed of 80% paper and 20% plastic, aimed at minimizing waste and promoting recyclability. The implementation phase focuses on the manufacturing process, while the results and evaluation section highlights the environmental benefits of the new design, including waste reduction and recyclability. The discussion section considers ethical and health aspects, and the conclusion summarizes the research, acknowledging its limitations while suggesting future research directions, such as banning single-use plastics for health and environmental purposes. The report includes appendices with system stakeholder maps, sustainability SWOT matrices, radar maps, and checklists. The report, a student contribution to Desklib, provides a detailed overview of the design, implementation, and evaluation of an eco-friendly alternative to disposable bottles.
