Engineering Design 100Section 7 Brandon Lehr Ryan Bradley Matt Quigley Mike Renard Dan Bitner
Table Of Contents • Objectives • Disassembly • How it operates • Solutions • Marketing • Matrices
Objectives • Shift focus from “disposable” to “reusable” • Create a more marketable product.
Disassembly • Stickers and film were easily removed • Camera is made mostly of plastic • Two metal springs and circuit board are only pieces not made of plastic Plastic parts Non-plastic parts
How It Works • Battery charges flash • Film is wound and spring loaded by manual winding • Shutter button releases spring and shutter, also charge is released in a flash
Solution #1 • Cameras will be collected • Plastic is easily recycled • Melt used cases • Reform into new cases • Reduction in wasted plastic
Solution #2 • Current Batteries contain more energy than necessary • AA Batteries contain 140 mAh • Camera only requires a battery with 48.6 mAh • Silver-Oxide batteries are smaller and more sustainable • Or, a smaller Alkaline Silver Oxide Alkaline (New School) (Old School)
Solution #3 • Reuse circuitry (unless damaged) • Quality Control (date markers) • Test life of circuit board Circuit board on camera (above) and detached from camera (below) • Requires most manual labor • Most dramatic impact on e-waste
Marketing • Smaller battery will allow case size to be reduced • Green sticker to represent new e-waste reduction methods • Link to website for people to learn what is changed
Conclusion • Disposable cameras are unsustainable • Changes could save money and create less e-waste
