VIDEO REFLECTION

Now days, as an industrial designer must have to think about everything, which associated with industrial field. In the market, all kinds of things make people craze about it. Ok, let’s talk about the packaging. Starts from all day’s basic thing eating, we open the fridge and find what we want to eat; all kinds of food packed in the different containers. We got tuna can, juice bottle, bread bag, and jam glass. Even though, we can order deliver pizza.  All of the food are so well packed, but after finish the food, beautiful packed contain suddenly became rubbish. Can’t believe the total amount of rubbish will create by the whole world each day. That’s why recycling rubbish is so much important thing to deal with in now days. 

After the WWII people’s life have a big change. With the industrial developing and life quality increase, people’s need become larger and higher, all the factory maximize their productivity in order to satisfy the customer’s needs. At the same time, other associated industry also has to catch up, but in fact they still on the way. For example in Australia, the waste generate by each state and comparing the recycling percentage of total waste only 50% of waste can by recycled and the rest will be disposed off. In some other economic high growth country like china, the amount of people is 40 times of Australian people. What about this huge county?  

China produces 254 million toms of garage a year, or about a third of a kilogram per person per day, however china is a world leader in recycling paper and other material on a global scale. Why? Because the chinese government makes the recycle material profitable. Based on this point, rubbish is no longer rubbish but gold. It’s really a good thing for the whole industrial and the environment. People will collect the recyclable material to sell rather than the government spent money to get 50% recycling rate. 

As a future industrial designer, we not only have to understand how to design but more also we have the duty to let keep the whole world clean. At least in my future work I will put recycle material into thought, thinking about how this material going to be after use, will this material threat our environment or not, thinking about how to use material wisely reduce waste of energy. Don’t downgrade one small little packaging, but when tons of small packaging produced, that will become a huge thing.
