| Summary: | In this project the main idea is to propose a different type of material in usage of
producing a product. The different type that is mention in this project is natural
composite. This innovation can be called an act on satisfying the changing needs of
society, in means of efficient, economical and environmental. Eco-efficient can be
suitable in describing those aspects. In this study the evaluation of relationship
between natural composite and eco-design product towards environmental is
conducted. The result of each of those entities can construct a new mean of
environmental product. Natural composite is done by combining two elements which
is natural waste and polyester for this particular research. Oil palm empty fruit bunch
fiber is a common waste that is increasing in Malaysia agricultural region. From the
analysis and the study of design for environment, it shown that the quality of oil
palm empty fruit bunch fiber composite can be used for designing an eco-efficient
product. In the design process, evaluation is conducted using axiomatic design
application. The result for the second level of FR1 is uncoupled design matrix, FR2
decoupled design matrix and FR3 uncouple design matrix. Results of the design
satisfied both customer requirement and DFE (design for environmental). End
product for this project is eco-cooler pad. The product is an efficient design with
added environmental aspect, can be reuse, remanufactured and no waste is involved
during the process and after life span. |
