Plastic Bag Experiment Project What would happen if we could take the things that were easily forgotten and abandoned and transformed them into usable and reliable products? Collaborative design with Liang Chih Chen/ Le Chi Lai
Background In Taiwan, every person uses on average 2.7 plastic bags per day. The majority are thrown out after use, and the lifespan of the bag ends. We set out to see if we could recycle these bags in an innovative way in order to reduce waste, and possibly enhance the value of things we think of as trash.

Plastic bag experiment project
Research Plastic bags are generally divided into two processes after they’re thrown out: Incineration, which produces toxic materials in the air, potentially causing harm to people, or burial, which requires 500 years for a bag to fully decompose, and reduces the sustainable use of land. Both methods are harmful to not only humans, but also the environment.
Concept Few people in Taiwan recycle plastic bags. It’s often an afterthought, or thrown out with the trash altogether. If we were able to take these used bags and repurposed them through a new recycling process, we could enhance the value of the bags, and convert them into much more valuable products, and more importantly, reduce the harmful effects to humans and the environment.

Oven Experiment Our first experiment tested the physical properties of plastic bags. We used simple ironware serving as the molds to form melted plastic bags. We found that bags became viscous and turned brown as a result of being exposed to air.
2.5
Waffle Maker To avoid browning, we used a waffle maker to prevent plastic bags from the exposure to air, while also serving as a molding surface as well. We found improvements to the surface of the bags and saw improved material integrity of the resulting form.

Heating Pipe In order to being creating molds for our products, we reformed heating pipes in order to create a result that was larger than a waffle.
7.10
Plate Mould We customized plate molds as well. This would allow us to experiment with a variation to test different plastics properties.
8.9
Prototype Machine We assembled a prototype to simulate production. This allowed us to find the most suitable and efficient method of pressing molds.
/ 13
Plastic bag experiment project
Manufacturing Operation
We created different molds depending on the shapes we wanted to create for our final product. We also collected bags with a variety of colors and prints, mixing them together and seeing unique blends. Our priority was to extend the life and promote recycling of plastic bags. Using the same process, we were able to create one-of-a-kind versions of the same model over and over again.
/ 14
Plastic bag experiment project
Experiment Conclusion After several experiment, we conclude some important factors that may influence the consequence of the manufacturing operation.
The temperature should be approximately 200C.
The thickness of the molds shouldn’t be too thin or the resulting plastic’s surface will burn black as a result of overheating. However, if the mold’s wall is too thick, the plastic bags are less likely to melt.
We u s e d c o r e a n d c a v i t y sides to create a buffer space allowing loose bags to be compressed completely and simultaneously isolating them from air.
We used fixtures to press the molds and make the resulting product much more solid.
/ 15
Plastic bag experiment project
Product We repurposed plastic bags into containers, which was inspired by the original use of plastic bags. We hope that after the transformation, our products still inherit the same value of what they were before being recycled.

Outdoor Workshop We hope that what we did is more than just creating a product. We created a medium to advocate the importance of plastic bag recycling. We were invited by World Design Capital Taipei to help push our message out to the community, and hopefully others.
/ 18
Plastic bag experiment project
We held a workshop where locals could bring their plastic bags, and we would make containers right away, showing the power of recycling. To k e e p i t h a n d s - o n , p e o p l e who brought bags could arrange them into any pattern they liked, and while the bags were being recycled, we shared our story and philosophy, educating and having conversations with the people about recycling bags to better the environment.

Portable Camping Charger A portable charger for when you’re out and about doing activities in places that don’t have accessible power. Collaborative design with Shao Chang/ Ming Wei Cuang
Background
As the young, tech-savvy generation go out to experience connecting with nature, they belong to a group that will also need to power all of their connected devices. We wanted to design a medium-sized portable charger suitable for this group, and solve their frustrations of needing to charge electronic devices in places that don’t necessarily accommodate for them.
/ 24

Research
We looked at various portable chargers out in the market and tried to envision what this product should be from the lens of millennials.
/ 25
Protable camping charger
Survey We made a questionnaire hoping to collect answers about people’s frustrations with camping and what they think are essential features for a camping charger. We received about 100 samples and as a result, focused on a lightning system that should be incorporated into the design of the charger.

Juice Machine Gun This machine gun will be the highlight of the party, performing an incredible juice show. Collaborative design with Shao Chang/ Ming Wei Cuang
Background We wanted to take something we use either once or frequently, and rethink of new, innovative ways to use them. We found parts and goods from blenders and pots, assembled them, and tried to put together a unique piece of machinery.
/ 34
Juice machine gun
Concept Development And Experiment After finding material, we started to think about how to combine them. We used a blender and inflator for grinding and spurting. We thought it would be great to create something that brought people together at parties or places of entertainment and brought joy. We experimented with the levels of pressure we would need to jet and spray water out. Ultimately, we made a prototype that simulated barometric pressure.

Play With The Moon Growing up, many of us were curious about the moon. This lamp can be manipulated and interactive, letting you play with the moon.
/ 43
Plastic bag experiment project
Background Everyone has their own unique perspective on the moon. As we grow up, we gradually forget about what our experiences are and the connections we had with the bright and shiny star in the sky. I wanted to design a product that can arouse our childhood memories, hoping to bring back that sense of innocence.
/ 44
Play with the moon
Concept Development We were all curious in our childhoods. When we see the moon in the sky, we thought we could reach out and touch it. It was always there, like a companion in the night, and it illuminated the world to bring light during the dark.

Design Elements
/ 46
Simple And Geometric
Interaction
This product should be simple to perform the meaning of innocence, so I want to create the shape that can resonate with everyone.
This product should be movable that when interacting with it, people can acquire childhood pleasure.
Color and Shape Changing
Suitable For All Ages
people can change colors and shapes of the moonlight by theirselves.
I want to make a product which can not only be attractive to children but also be touchable to each generation.
Play with the moon
Sketch Development My first concept played on the idea of shapes. Like grabbing the moon with your hand, these ideas allowed you to physically touch and manipulated the light .
/ 47
Play with the moon
Manufacturing Operation After picking a concept, I started making the prototype. I picked up woodworking, and talked to a carpenter to understand how to manufacture wood parts that could be combined with others easily. During this process, I learned about various woods, their textures and grains, and how to carve by hand and carefully operate machinery.
/ 48
Play with the moon
Next, I treated the surfaces by polishing and fixing cracks and imperfections in the wood. The oil and stains to treat the wood helped bring out the wood’s beauty, but also prolonged the lifespan of the natural material. Along with the components for the LED light system, I used acrylic sheets to help manipulate the colors of the light, and then combined them together on a crescent axis.
/ 49
Play with the moon
Product It’s a lamp you can put on your bedside table and can be used as a nightlight or an atmospheric lamp. You can choose the color of the acrylic sheet and change the ambience. The position of the acrylic sheet and the rotating light creates outlines of the moon in various phases and creates a pleasing effect in the dark.

Barab Product marketing and packaging has many intricacies that go unnoticed. T h e smal l e st d e ta i ls can impact the overall product’s presentation, ultimately leading to a close relationship between the consumer and the product. Collaborative design with Meng Jung Lin/ Ming Chao Lee/ Yu Hsen Sung/ Li Lee
Barab
Background Barcodes are everywhere. Though they often go unnoticed, and usually only seen when scanning during checkout, they act in a supporting role. We decided to take a different approach and allow the barcode to take a leading role, giving these unique series of vertical lines new life.
/ 58
Barab
Concept We wanted to use patterns that many animals have on their coats, and mask stripes over their silhouette, giving them a brand-new appearance. We call it “Barab,” derived from the word “barcode.”

Product Pencil case
In the selection of cloth, we choose white striped denim to match the barcode, and make different solid color cotton lining. The triangular structure make the pencil case have more space and more convenient storage.
Key ring
The most outstanding feature is the easy-handled flexible grip, with the elk pattern on the wood charm.
sticker/ postcard
The pattern design concept is to combine the animals with barcode, and add a humorous sentence that make people smile knowingly.

The Square We hosted a workshop at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei to think of creative ways to build new and unique furniture and decorations using abandoned, used, and unwanted furniture and wares from the neighborhood. We were motivated to think of a project that benefited the environment through recycling, while testing our creative thinking to create interesting new products.

We broke down and combined different parts of the furniture we were given, and reconstructed as we went. In the process, we found that we were constantly getting more and more inspired, and fluidly changed the design, when uncovering interesting shapes and forms we found when dismembering materials. It was an interesting way to help give these products a second life and a new chapter in their story.
