Green Engineering Redesign of Product Service Delivery

One Point Five worked with a consumer products company who wanted to develop a cost-effective solution to deliver their product services to cash-constrained consumers whilst minimizing waste and environmental footprint.

We used the 12 Principles of Green Engineering and referenced biomimicry applications to develop three concept designs to innovate on the company’s product service delivery. We worked with the company to determine their decision criteria for the new product design - including cost-effectiveness, carbon footprint, ease of adoption, and effectiveness – and ran a multi-criteria decision analysis, and a Technique of Order Preference Similarity (TOPSIS) calculation to determine the ideal concept design to select. We also used life-cycle assessment software to analyze the environmental impacts of the concept designs.

This led to the recommendation of a dehydrated form of their product formula which eliminates the use of single-use packaging and increases their product to packaging delivery ratio without materially impacting cost.
