| Summary: | 碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業設計學系 === 101 === To keep up with pace of modern life, an increasing number of people choose to dine out. Coffee has taken a large percentage.
After the sizeable network of catering chains comes to shape, a rising amount of discarded packaging materials naturally follows. Most of them are made from synthetic matters, which are non-biodegradable. In a world where environmental consensus pervades, this is highly inappropriate. To address the issue, my study will incorporate green design into take-out packaging used by coffee store chains and build a substantial collection of research and design from it. My design will mainly focus on the simplification and reusability of packaging and follow the ideal of multi-functions. This study investigates the background of coffee drinking, covers the development of coffee and catering industries, summarizes the current market trends and consumer behaviors, and conducts a case study of major packaging now available on the market to pinpoint factors key to design.
Then in the conclusion, five sets of packaging, both user-and eco-friendly, for coffee or food are proposed. Prototypes are made and presented in consumer interviews and they get a fairly good review. Consumers are more than willing to try them. A few follow-up suggestions are also offered for future improvements.
