About Rhita Valiza De Sustenabilitate

Asamblare și dezasamblare concepute pentru cauza sustenabilității. Cu un sistem inovativ de structură de balamale proiectat, 70 la sută din piese au fost reduse, fără lipici sau nituri pentru fixare, nu a cusut căptușeala interioară, ceea ce face mai ușor să fie reparat, și redus dimensiunile de 33 la sută din volumul de marfă, eventual, extindeți valiza ciclu de viață. Toate piesele pot fi achiziționate individual, pentru personalizarea valizei proprii sau înlocuirea pieselor, fără valiză de întoarcere la centrul de reparații necesar, economisește timp și reduce amprenta de carbon de transport.

All parts can be purchase individually, for customizing own suitcase, or parts replacement, no returning suitcase to repair center needed, saves time and reduce shipping carbon footprint.
Dimensions & Packaging: Depth390mm x Height350mm x Width730mm
Tags: Suitcase, Structure, Sustainability, Assembly, Disassembly, Maintenance
Production Technology: Main Material: PP
Size: 24inch
Lock: 3 point lock with TSA function on the big central lock.
Wheels Type: Double wheels for smooth rolling.
Design Challenge: To take both sturdy and easy disassembly into account, the design of structure must satisfy both. More than that,3D printing cannot reach the strength of plastic and tenacity are different too. By adjusting data repeatedly, the team tried and made many mistakes and finally came up with a good solution.
Research: Type of research: Sustainable structure and materials of suitcase. Research Objectives: Create a sustainability suitcase, designed for assembly and disassembly. Methodology: Suitcase type analysis, Suitcase material analysis, Suitcase recycle status analysis. Data Collection: market research of usage scenario, hobbies, frequency of us and repair willingness. Research tools: Solid Works, Rhino, Keyshot. Impact: Disrupted the traditional way of suitcase manufacturing. Result: Provide a sustainability suitcase to benefit the world.
Inspiration: Suitcase were in great demand by global travelers, and the design are mainly on multi-function and sturdy, but also makes it difficult to recycle when discarded, every year hundred thousand of discarded luggage cause by damaged wheels, handles, shells or shells that are deformed or damaged by collision, hard to be repaired or disassemble for recycle, bringing great impact to the environment. Hence, design for assembly and disassembly allows the suitcase easy to repair or recycle, reduced parts by simplifying the structure and minimized material used, downsize of shipping volume to decrease carbon footprint boosting sustainability.
Project Duration: The project began in July 2019 and was completed in Tainan, Taiwan in March 2020.
Operation Flow: By simplifying the structure, reducing parts quantity, design for assembly and disassembly of the suitcase, makes it easier to be repaired and recycled. Hence, users will be able and easy to install the suitcase by themselves, and also to replace damage parts. Users can purchase parts separately and select specific color of the parts that personalize the suitcase. All in all, the suitcase product life-cycle to be extended, and when it comes to the end of the suitcase mission, still can be easy to recycle, making this suitcase designed truly sustainable wise.
