waste management system
Industrial Design Studio IV individual project
Brief In this course, the students are expected to design a bioinspired system and its products (at least two products) to develop solutions for the climate change. Through the analysis of the causes and effects of the climate change; the systems should regulate/prevent/reverse the negative consequences of it. Bio-inspiration is the main theme of this studio course to be used as a model and/or tool to design for climate change in a more sustainable way. Bio-inspiration is an umbrella term which includes concepts such as biomimicry, biomimetics, bionics, bio-replication, etc. The outcomes of this project are advised to be developed to take part in the The Biomimicry Global Design Challenge. 2017-18 theme of the challenge is “Climate Change: Adaptation, Mitigation and Reversal.�
problem definition climate change First, five different substances were identified as the results of climate change: food, health, soils, oceans. the consequences of this change are caused by people’s climate change: pollution, deforestation, agriculture, transportation, population. T he increase of carbon dioxide emissions is a big problem. According to the research of California University, the biggest share in the emission of greenhouse gases is electricity and temperature / agriculture / industrial / transportation / other energy sources / food residues / buildings.
waste management I started to investigate the effect of waste problem on climate change when examining the emission of carbon dioxide and wastes. Waste management has five types of impacts depending on climate change: landfill methane gas emission, industrial energy use and waste reduction, energy recovery of waste, carbon retention in forests, energy management in long-distance waste transport. I started to work on campus waste management where these impacts have negative consequences on climate change.
25% of the carbon dioxide emission occurs from electricity and heating energy, 20.4% from agriculture, 17.9% from industry, 14% from transportation, 9.6% from other energies and 6.7% from food waste. Overpopulation, deforestation, greenhouse gases, climate change, overfishing, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution – almost all negative impacts humans have been imposing over the environment and the ecosystems to produce the energy are all waste by-products! The issue goes beyond hunger: Producing the food we waste takes land, water, labor and other valuable resources. To add insult to injury, food waste is a major source of greenhouse gases, mostly in the form of methane, a pollutant at least 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
A detailed stakeholder map was created for the waste management in university campus. First, the stakeholders in this system were identified and the waste cycle was kept on campus as much as possible. Eight different waste types were identified, and they were journeyed on campus. Apart from these, the app plan was made to educate and raise awareness of the users.

Material of this waste collection units is powder coated galvanized steel. These galvanized steel sheets are produced by measuring laser cutting, bending with press and welding together with. The product has a smart waste management sensor. This sensor sends direct fulness/ space data to the system. this determines both the collection time of the wastes and the waste analysis of the app. In addition to the lids color, the same color code is used on the surface in the opening direction of the lid to guide the user and show the direction in which the waste is to be disposed. In the body of the product has a cover that opens from the colored surface for easy removal and transport the waste-filled bags. The waste-filled bags is easily removed after opening the cover on the color coded side surface of the product and after opening the top lid, the empty reusable bag can be inserted easily from the top.
The form of the waste bins was designed as a new geometric shape called a scutoid. Called the scutoid, scientists came across the structure while studying epithelial cells that form our skin and line our organs and blood vessels. Scutoid has six sides on one end and five on the other, with a triangular surface on one of the long edges.This unique shape helps tissue to curve, allowing organs to acquire very complex yet very stable shapes, according to the researchers. Because these geometric shapes are more stable when combined, I chose the scutoid form of the one unit of the waste collection unit. In addition, when they came together, creating a topography on the campus affected the design.
Waste generated in the campus is expressed in eight different categories and colors. These eight separate waste bins are assembled by combining different combinations in different exterior and interior areas of the campus. Waste bins can be arranged according to their needs. The colors and icons determined according to the waste types were standardized in both waste bins and on the app. These color and icon encodings create a visual memory for users.
main lid opens with the button located on the body of the product, this allows you to easily insert the waste bag into the ring
these smart bin’s lid opens with proximity sensors and is airtight, so it stops whatever you throw away stinking up the whole place
This application is designed to enable the users identified in the system map to better understand the system, to ensure that they are informed about the waste and to dispose of their waste properly in the right waste bin. Firstly, after the introduction of the application, the main page of the daily, monthly, total waste recycling and re-use of the rates of wastes, as well as they see the benefits of these wastes to gains for the environment and individuals. In addition, when you enter the collection points tab in the side menu, the user can select the type of waste and see where he can take his / her waste near the map.
The user can still access the wasting guide tab when he or she clicks on the sorting guide tab in the side menu. When the user clicks on the wasting guide tab, he / she can easily access the wastes that he / she will put in recycle, put in garbage and take the landfill of. For example, when he clicks on the recycle tab, he can access the information about how to dispose and recycle the waste by selecting the recycle waste type. On the other hand, the user can easily access and know all the symbols on the sorting guide tab, recycling symbols and symbols on plastic, metal, glass, paper packaging.
when the user has a waste, he or she, with the waste mobile app, looks at which waste is disposed of in the waste collection unit or where the waste collection unit is on campus
dispose of waste to waste collection units which are suitable for the color code shown on the application
the map shown in the waste mobile application shows the location of the waste collection unit. User can easily reach waste collection point and unit with waste mobile app
unit with smart waste management sensor relay all data to platform where it can use data analytic monitor for app
the data converted to the graph with the smart waste management method is seen by the app by the user
with the smart waste management sensor, the fully charged waste collection unit sends notifications to the center
employees receive color-coded reusable bags from the waste collection unit
color coded reusable bags are brought to Collecting and Sorting Center in campus with short transport distance
in the C&S Center, volunteer students take part in the separation of recycling waste according to faculty needs
recycling waste like paper, metal, plastic are compressed with balers & compactors machines into cubes
the cubes created with the balers & compactors machine allow more waste to be transported at one time

02 Algida ice cream cabinet
Algida Designathon 18’ group project | selected group for prototyping
Brief “Algida Designathon is a product design workshop for 48 hours where Industrial Design students and new graduates will come together to design the ice cream sales unit for Algida.� The product to be designed in this competition could attract the attention of the user and the user should be able to see the ice cream easily when it comes to near the product. More alternative products were required than the existing rectangular prism ice cream cabinet.
cabinet cover The covers of the existing freezer cabinets are generally sliding and consist of one large glass piece. This creates a challenge for the user and causes heat loss.
inadequate shading area The existing ice cream cabinets are generally protected from the sun with an iconic red umbrella of Algida. The rounded shadow of umbrella area cannot protect the entire rectangular form of the cabinets.
complex price cards The current price card is a combination of many products in the user can not easily find the desired product and prices could not reach.
incompatible form for festivals In open spaces such as festivals, these ice cream sales unit become very difficult to use.
The ice cream sales unit designed based on Algida’s iconic umbrella. In this product, the sections where the ice creams are stored have a hexagonal volume. This is because both users can take ice cream at the same time, and the cabinet can store more ice creams. There are parallelogram freezing sections inside the hexagonal units. In this way, it can store about 18 kinds of ice cream. The ice cream sales unit we designed can use 6 users at the same time. At the same time, when selecting user freezing, it prevents energy loss due to single glass cover and separate price cards.
night view different cooling areas for different product types with minimal loss of space, the ice cream cabinet, consisting of hexagonal units maximum freezing capacity with parallelogram baskets in refrigerating units

03 AC-BUS isuzu minibus
Industrial Design Studio III group project Brief This is a team project on the development of design proposals for a smart electric minibus that will operate in urban areas, providing citizens’ rapid transportation. Electrical small transportation vehicles has become a popular concept, the potentials of which are explored worldwide for public transportation within the city context. Such a transportation system will involve diverse users from all kind of citizens. Therefore in this project you should study in depth the potential users, their needs, destinations and usage frequencies. The project outcomes will comprise a transportation system solution including the design of the vehicle with emphasis on smart solutions, exterior styling and interior layout, and incorporating a focus on accessibility.
for wheelcahir users The bus ride has always been a big problem for individuals with wheelchairs. If wheelchair users are going to use an private vehicle on their journey in their daily lives, they should generally be able to get off their wheelchairs. In addition, it is a big problem to get into the vehicle in tolu transports and to travel after being safely placed in the vehicle after boarding. In existing vehicles, the ramp system is either unavailable or unavailable. Apart from that, the wheelchair is usually occupied in the car and a safe seat for the wheelchair is offered with an unusable seat belt system.
for visually impaired users Visually impaired people encounter many problems while traveling in their daily lives. Existing gps systems do not clearly and clearly show their destination. In addition, when they use public transport, they find it difficult to find bus or metro stops. When they arrive at the stations, they cannot get to know which bus is coming or when.
for driver Bus and minibus drivers spend most of their daily lives in the vehicle they use. Since the areas inside the vehicle are not specialized, drivers create a personal space and find it difficult to find space to put their belongings.

Accessibility is the core concept of this minibus. Since this minibus was designed for everyone, different scenarios and passenger flows were designed in different situations. Firstly, in the scenario where there is no wheelchair, the possible location of the passengers and the boarding-paying-sitting-standing flows were visualized. Then, in the scenario where the wheelchair user is in the vehicle, the seating plan of the passengers and the way the wheelchair user ride the vehicle are designed.
04 Motobike master model making
Model Making I-II individual project | exhibited at the fair
Brief This project was made for the Messe Frankfurt Moto Bike Istanbul Expo Motorcycle Fair 2017. Within the scope of Model Making course, realistic 1/4 master models have been produced by re-designing and making certain arrangements on selected motorcycles.
In this project, which we first started by researching motorcycles, each student determined his own motorcycle. I choose Indian Chief 1948. After the research and decision making process, we started to make sketches. We started to make sketches on the quarter scale blueprints of the motorcycles we selected. We have strengthened our design by making redesign and small changes over drawings.
By the end of the drawing phase, it was decided which materials were to be created. Since the model had many organic form pieces, it was decided to make most of it with polystyrene foam. It was started by cutting out the polystyrene foam by making drafts on the drawn quarter-scale drawings. After the polystyrene foam motorcycle parts were cut in size, the surface details were sanded. At this stage, the pieces were brought together and the model was seen as a whole and the details of the deficiencies were looked at from the big picture. Then the pieces were covered with wood putty and coated three times with the wood paste-drying-sanding.
After obtaining a surface suitable for spray paint with wood putty, I continued with the Indian Chief motorcycle brand which was used in their models with a bright paint of burgundy color. Spray paint was used in three coats and the surfaces which were rough between each coat were sanded with water sandpaper and then ready to spray paint. Metal parts such as the exhaust pipe and handlebars outside the body and fender parts of the motorcycle were shaped with plastic pipe and painted with metallic spray paint. For motorcycle rims and some small details, 3D drawings were made and laser cut and acrylic parts were obtained. After all the parts were dried and ready, the pieces of the model were assembled and the motorcycle fixed on a wooden plate.
