Lo scopo principale della tesi è di sviluppare un prodotto/servizio per la raccolta di imballi di plastica flessibile post consumo. La ricerca comprende lo studio dell’intero processo dalla definizione del service-system alla definizione del design brief e di una prima proposta di raccolgliatore-compattatore. Il progetto, mira a facilitare la riciclabilita’ dei film in plastica adattando e sviluppando un sistema di deposito-ricompensa (deposit-refund). L’attivita’ delle parti interessate (gli stakeholders) in questo sistema, e’ completamente analizzata e definita. Il modello di deposito-ricompensa (deposit-refund), e’ stato adattato per un caso studio in Italia, creando un’analisi economica di un periodo di quattro anni. Le fasi progettuali sono ulteriormente definite al fine di creare un sistema completamente funzionale, focalizzandosi sul ruolo del product designer del brief per la creazione di un reverse vending machine.

Abstract
The main scope of the thesis is to develop a product/service for the collection of post-consumer flexible plastic packaging. The research encompasses the study of the whole process, from the service-system definition to the design brief definition and first proposals of a reverse vending machine. The project aims to facilitate recyclability of plastic packaging films by adapting and developing a deposit-refund system. The activity of the stakeholders in this system is strictly analyzed and defined. This deposit-refund model is adapted to a case study for Italy by creating an economical cost analysis of a four year period. The design roles are further defined in order to create a fully functional system, focalizing on the role of a product designer and the brief to create a reverse vending machine.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
