Rethink Refuse Recycle Repair Reduce Reuse.

Starter activity: Whats the specification?

Working independently - look at the two products in the
images provided.
Make a list in your exercise books of the PROS & CONS of both
of these bags.

PROS
Free to the consumer
Readily available
Biodegradable inks now added for natural decomposition.
CONS
Bad for the environment
End up in land fill
Often non recyclable
PROS
Long lasting/stronger/fashionable
Can replace in the store of which bought for free
Kinder for the environment/reduces use of plastic bags
Can be repaired if required.

CONS
Initial higher cost
Relies on the consumer to remember to bring the bag each time

they shop.
Not water proof/resistant.
Tesco - Bags for Life
They encourage
customers to refuse
standard bags &
rethink about how
they carry their
shopping in order to
reduce the number of
bags used.
The Natural

Bag For Life

- can be reused, if it
breaks it can be
exchanged for a new
one and the old one
will be recycled.
What are the big sustainability issues for designers?

Resource use - We use so much and so many materials.
Many of the products we use daily use materials that are in

scarce supply and are non-renewable.
If everyone in the world used as any resources as we do in
the UK, wed need three planets to sustain us.

Climate Change
Many products use a lot of energy to:
Process materials and produce
Transport
Use and dispose
The Big issues
The energy used throughout the product lifecycle releases carbon

dioxide, which contributes towards climate change.
(Q) In terms of climate change what problems can this pose?

Write your response in your revision book. Discussion to follow.

The 6Rs could be a way of

helping you think about the
reducing the impact of a new
product on the environment and
people.
Activity:
Match the 6Rs on your worksheet
to their definitions. To save time
simply draw an arrow matching
up the definition to the title.
Once completed & checked

these will be glued into your
exercise books.

How did you do? Check answers

RETHINK: Do we make too many products? Design in a way that
considers people and the environment.
REFUSE: Dont use a material or buy a product if you dont need it or
if its bad for people or the environment.
REDUCE: Cut down the amount of material and energy you use as
much as you can.
REUSE: Use a product to make something else with all or parts of it.
RECYCLE: Reprocess a material or product and make something
else.
REPAIR: When a product breaks down or doesnt work properly, fix it.

Environmental Concerns in terms of materials, manufacture and disposal.
Often referred to as the 6 Rs.
Six words beginning with the letter R.

Each describes an action that can be taken to
reduce the environmental impact of products.
Recycle
Reduce
Reuse
Rethink
Refuse
Repair
Its important that designers do their part in taking these things in to

account when designing new products.
In terms of your controlled assessment you need to discuss MESS
development in order to access the top level band grades.

Recycling is where products are converted back to

their basic materials and remade into new
products.
Examples include:
Glass crushed, melted and made into new bottles.
Plastic bottles recycled into drainage pipes and
clothing. (It takes 25 two litre plastic bottles to
make one fleece.)
Designers and manufacturers of products need to

design products for recycling. Many local
councils now collect materials that can be
recycled separately from normal domestic
waste.

Consumers need to look to reduce the

number of products they buy, or consider
buying products that use less energy.
Manufacturers are looking to design
products that:
Have less materials in the product
Take less energy to manufacture
Need less packaging during transport.
Retailers can reduce carbon emissions by
transporting products straight to the
consumer from the place of manufacture,
instead of via warehouses and shops.

Lots of items can be reused in the same form.
Glass milk bottles are a classic product that is

reused. A more recent product that can be
reused is a printer cartridge, which can be
refilled.
Some products have filters that can be
washed rather than using disposable, singleuse filters.
Consumers could sell or donate products
they no longer use themselves, so that
someone else can use them.

Consumers can ask the question,

Do I really need this product?
(Do you really need to replace
your mobile phone every year?)
Designers and manufacturers
can make products that do the
same job more efficiently.
They can design the packaging
so that it is easier to recycle (for
example, by making the
packaging from a single
material).

The designer and manufacturer have an

increasing need to think about how the
consumer will react to their products; will they
refuse them?
Refillable
They can ask the following questions:

Should they refuse the product because it is
too inefficient (in use, or in its use of
materials)?
Should they refuse the product because its
packaging creates too much waste?
(Disposable cups from the coffee shop, plastic
carrier bags from the supermarket, plastic water
bottles.)
X
Disposable
The consumer has the choice as to whether they

buy /use a product or not.

Instead of throwing things away consumers

need to think more about having things
repaired.
Designers have a responsibility to design
products that can be repaired more
easily.
It takes fewer resources to replace a part
of a product, than to replace the whole
item.
Could an item be upgraded instead of
replace with a new one?

they buy also.
Ergonomics
How products are designed & shaped to fit the users needs.
These two short videos explain what ergonomics is and why it is

important in design.
Questions to follow.
5th-95th percentile
Ignore the extremes

Top 5% and bottom 5% taken out
Consider the rest as a normal range
Be selective tallest for doors, shortest for chairs?
5th-95th
percentile
Percentiles are shown in anthropometry

tables and they tell you whether the
measurement given in the tables relates to
the 'average' person, or someone who is
above or below average in a certain
dimension.
If you look at the heights of a group of
adults, you'll probably notice that most of
them look about the same height. A few
may be noticeably taller and a few may be
noticeably shorter.
This 'same height' will be near the average

(called the 'mean in statistics) and is shown
in anthropometry tables as the fiftieth
percentile, often written as '50th percentile'.
This means that it is the most likely height in
a group of people. If we plotted a graph of
the heights (or most other dimensions) of
our group of people, it would look similar to
this.
Ergonomics
Key important areas for an ergonomic product are:
Efficiency - people to their products

Efficiency - people in their working environments
Comfort
Ease of use
Safety
Most importantly:
Has to be comfortable
Easy to use
Help with day to day life
Benefit the user and be safe.
Ergonomes
Ergonomes are models of
people in normal proportions.
Sometimes they are full size and
sometimes to scale.
They help designers make
decisions about sizes,
positioning etc.
Appearance Prototype:
Making a model out of the actual

materials/scale before going into
production.
Modelling.
Manikin- An anatomical 3D model of
the human body.
A jointed model of the human body
used by artists, especially to
demonstrate the arrangement of
drapery. Also called lay figure.
They are useful for assessing the
relationship of body parts to spatial
arrangements represented by a 3D
model, for example, a chair to a desk.
They are generally more expensive
than mannequins but they give a
better representation of the overall
ergonomics in the design context.
Anthropometrics.
How data & measurement of the human body is reflected in the design &
manufacture of products.
Anthropometrics
The study of human measurements

Numerous data available
Need to be selective
Match target group
Using Anthropometric Data.

Choosing the best measurement from
anthropometric data is important.
Anthropometric Example.
The Examination table you will sit at when
completing your IB exams.
Designed to complement the school chair

Correct working height.
Regulation size work area.
Designed to
fit the 5th-95th
percentile
Key measurements include the

floor to thigh, floor to shoulder
blades and inside of the calf to
the back of the seat.
Dont forget the hip
measurement.
Floor to elbow is a key
measurement when deciding
upon the height of the work
surface.
The arm reach is an important

measurement when deciding
on the depth of workstations.
Dont forget that we move
from the hip when reaching
forward so a work surface
could be a lot deeper than first
considered.
Car driving position
An office working Chair
Many seats adjust to make

the position more efficient
for the user. Car seats are
probably one of the best
examples.
(Q) What adjustment does:
A do?
B do?
C do?
There are numerous adjustments

found on office chairs to make them
more efficient to a wide range of
users.
(Q) Can you name what A,B,C does?
Some office chairs also have foot

rails.
(Q) How do you think this could help?
Draw both of these products and label what A,B & C does. Discussion to follow.
Car driving position

A Adjust the height of the
headrest to support the
users neck when driving.
Different heights drive cars
so it is essential that they
can adjust to suit their
needs.
(Q) What adjustment does:

A do?
B do?
C do?
B Adjust the angle of the

back support, especially the
low back. Allows the driver to
feel comfortable at the
wheel and reduces their
need to lean forward when
driving.
C Adjust distance from the seat to the
break/accelerator. If you are short (like me) you will
have short legs so being near to the steering wheel
and pedals are important for being able to drive
safely. Reduces strain on the user also.
How did you do?
An office working chair.

A Adjust the height of the back
support so that it cover the back.
Adjust according to the height of the
user. Adjust easily using the dial on the
back of the support.
B Adjust the angle of seat. The seat

can be tipped forward or back to
support the user when they are sitting
and working at a desk.
C Adjust the height of the seat. This would be used

to increase the height in-line with the desk or table
you are working at. It would reduce strain to the
users back, eyes and hands when working/using a
computer.
How did you do?
Computer workstations Adjustable workstations

Computer workstations have
numerous ergonomic issues to
prevent eye strain, repetitive
strain injury, back ache etc.
(Q) How can you prevent eye

strain?
(Q) How can you prevent
back ache?
The work surface height is also adjustable

in the best solutions.
In terms of a adjustable desk height

what type of person could this benefit?
Think OUTSIDE of the box!

SO.What is Inclusive Design?

Inclusive design (often called Universal design) refers to
the intention to produce buildings, products and
environments that are accessible to both people
without disabilities and people with disabilities.
It might be seen as the opposite of Exclusive Design
which is often aimed at a very small percentage of the
population.
Inclusive design is producing products that do not

discriminate the user!
Inclusive design
The basic definition of inclusive design is that products

and services should be designed to be easily usable by
as many people as possible.
Taking into account the differences between people

and their abilities, inclusive design looks at ways of
designing products to suit the majority of people and
avoid physical barriers and the need for adaptations.
In other words, good design, where

products are fit for purpose.
Everyday products
As well as the very specialised wheelchairs, designers

have been turning their attention to the every day
products all of us use.
How does this product

help the user?

Safety &
Consumer Issues.
Exam expectations.
This topic is regularly tested in the written paper.
You are expected to be able to anticipate
potential safety hazards in the final product you
are designing and making as well as being able
to assess the risks to yourself and others during
the manufacturing stages.
Safe products.
Ensuring that products are safe is a
number one priority for designers
and manufacturers.
Lots of things such as making sure
products do not have sharp edges
or are made from non-toxic
materials are simply common
sense.
However, manufacturers are guided
by numerous laws and regulations.
Why would you avoid
sharp edges & toxic
paint?
British Toy & Hobbies Association

Represent the interests of British toy
manufacturers. 90% of the British market for toys
and games are represented by the Lion Mark.
For a toy to display the Lion Mark, the
supplier has signed a strict Code of
Practice, (the BATR Code is based on this
same document), which, as well as
covering toy safety matters, demands the
highest standards of ethics in advertising.
Why do you think toys

need to be STRICTLY
regulated?
Toy safety
Make sure toys are suitable for the

age of the child. Some children,
particularly those under three, are
more vulnerable, particularly to
choking, and less able to cope with
particular toys than older children.
It should also be remembered that
there will be significant differences in
the abilities of those in the same age
group and those children with special
needs.
British Standards Institute.

BSI devises tests that
products or components

It awards the Kitemark to

those products that meet
the standards.

Toy Safety Symbol.

(Q) Explain what this
symbol means and
how it protects the
intended user.

Possible Answers:
Ensure toys are suitable for the age
range.
Safe.
Non-toxic paint is used.
No sharp edges.
No loose parts.
No potential choking hazards.
Suitable theme for their age range.
Workshop safety.
As a minimum you should:

Wear eye protection when using tools and machinery
which create dust or sparks
Ensure loose hair is tied back and there is no loose
clothing when using power tools and machinery.
Why are goggles worn?

Why is tying hair back
important?
Excessive noise.
Loud noise is not just a nuisance it can cause

serious and permanent harm.
Check whether you need to wear ear
defenders.
Why is this important?

How could this effect
the users health?
Clean air.
Both dust and solvents can cause serious health problems.

Always ensure that dust is extracted from the source.
Ventilation is essential when using paints and solvents.
Why is this important?

How could this effect
the users health?
Solvents.
Many of the chemicals we use in D&T are both highly

flammable as well as being dangerous to breathe in.
Think in DT where are our solvents stored?
Why is it stored this way?
What does it prevent?
Remember these
symbols they may be
in the exam.
(Q) Why are danger
symbols red?
Corrosive chemicals.
The most common corrosive chemicals in D&T are usually those

found in electronics rooms.
The acids used for etching PCBs can burn the skin
Wear rubber gloves when handling these chemicals and
always wash and splashes off the skin immediately with lots of
water
Of course, eye protection is essential.
Corrosive = burning and irritation.

Can you think why eye
protection would need to be
worn also?

Product maintenance.
Many products have a life
expectancy based on some
degree of maintenance. One
example of this would be the
personal stereo.
The batteries will need to be
changed regularly and it is
important that access is easy but
secure.
Servicing.
More complex products such as cars have very detailed

maintenance schedules.
Records are kept so that the manufacturers warranty is
valid. Only authorised garages can carry out the
maintenance during the warranty period.
Some products display signs to
indicate when servicing is due.
