Precious Plastic Reflection

Precious Plastic was about implementing sustainability by recycling types of plastic and turning them into items that are high enough quality to be bought. My original goals were to make cash in 20$ boss then it became to learn about precious plastic and its machines. Precious Plastic was about making products from recyclable plastics and turning them into products that can be used.

The skills developed are to use the machinery and identify each type of plastic and why we use the ones we do and the ones we do not. I most relied on muscle memory because for some machines they were simple, like the shredder where you just put the plastic in. There is the compressor where you screw metal blocks together then put the plastic in it then other steps.

Some obstacles I faced were not being 100 percent sure of being right, I kept on thinking I was wrong because of doubt, and I did not want to mess up because it is a long process then we would have to restart. Another capability I adapted to was creativeness because I came up with numerous designs and patterns this way the customers would want the product more sine it looks better.

The step of the deign thinking process I used best was feedback I did this by completing a job and asking my peers how I could improve. Another step I did well in was empathise I did this by thinking what type of colours and patterns the customers would want if they bought this product and not to make it a simple basic design. One design thinking process I could improve in is make because I did not have much experience making products, so I did not know how to make things like clipboards or cups.
