  5. An Innovative Recycling Project • Constraints: • Must be made completely from corrugated cardboard • Must have a seat • Must have a back • Seat must be between 16” to 18” from the floor • The top of the back must be no less than 30” from the floor • Must have no fewer than 3 separate measurable legs • Must support no less than 300 lbs • Should weigh no more than 7 lbs

  6. An Innovative Recycling Project • Criteria • Cost • Recycled cardboard is $10.00 per square foot. The cost of the construction materials are minimal keeping cost low. • Reliability • Should be able to support 300 lbs • Weight • Total weight will be no more than 7 lbs • Ease of operation • Should be design so all people are comfortably able to use
