The Design
About Reusable Samanbrjótanlegt bolli
Endurnýtanlegt er samanbrjótanlegur bolli hannaður fyrir drykki sem neytt er utan heimilis. Bollinn fellur saman í þétta og fyrirferðarlitla mynd sem kemst fyrir í vasa eða tösku. Endurnýtanlegt er framleitt úr matvælaöruggu sílikoni og BPA-lausu plasti, mótað með sprautumótun. Bollinn tekur 250 ml og mælist 87 mm á breidd og 122 mm á hæð. Til að opna bollann er efri brúnin dregin upp þar til hún læsist í stöðu. Til að loka bollanum er brúnin þrýst niður þar til hún fellur saman flöt. Endurnýtanlegt býður upp á valkost við einnota bolla og stuðlar að minni sóun.

- Production Technology
- The foldable cup design was achieved through iterative prototyping using CAD software. We employed injection molding for precision in mass production, utilizing food-grade silicone and BPA-free plastic to ensure safety and durability.
- Design Challenge
- The toughest challenge in this design activity was achieving a balance between compactness and durability. Creatively, we faced the obstacle of ensuring the cup could fold efficiently without compromising its structural integrity. The final concept of the foldable cup emerged as a response to countless iterations, material testing, paper prototyping, and 3D printing.
- Research
- The final concept of the foldable cup emerged as a response to countless iterations. In the process, a huge role played sculpting through various types of prototyping. Paper prototypes were used for proportion and geometry relationships, and 3D printing prototyping with soft plastics was used to test shape and thicknesses. Followed by extensive research on materials from which to manufacture.
- Inspiration
- Reusable's journey began with a simple question: How can we make eco-friendly choices effortlessly integrated into our routine? Inspired by the beauty of simplicity and functionality followed by the quest to create a solution that combines convenience with sustainability. Reusable boasts a unique collapsible design that transforms it from a full-sized cup into a compact, pocket-friendly form factor.
- Project Duration
- The idea was born in 2019, but the project commenced in January 2023 and concluded in April 2024. The design and development phases took place in Bulgaria. This timeline allowed for extensive research, prototyping, and user testing, ensuring the final product met high standards of functionality and sustainability.
- Operation Flow
- The foldable cup is easy to use. To operate, simply expand the cup by pulling on the top rim until it locks into place. To collapse, push down gently until it folds flat.
