Complex packaging materials are difficult to separate

Multiple materials become mixed during unpacking, making them difficult for users to sort.

Research area: Sustainable design and circular useProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Review how each packaging layer supports protection, identification and transport.
  2. Reduce material types, design for separable connections, and clarify sorting instructions.
  3. Validate protection and organization ease with real packing and unpacking tasks.

Key Deliverables

  • Packaging material inventory
  • Separation structure
  • Organization instructions

Verification Approach

Document material separation, sorting comprehension, and unpacking steps.
