What was done?

I personally found this a very interesting project as it looked at the bigger picture of products in a system and their whole lifecycle rather than focussing so closely on the product.

After being given the stationary sector to analyse, we reviewed a number of product and decided that glue sticks were a product that could have a much improved system. After studying the current linear system, we redesigned the product with in depth research into materials and manufacturing to see how we could make the system circular.

With new product materials including CL-PHA, plant based glue and Paper foam and a thoroughly though product service system, our solution dramatically reduced carbon footprint and energy required to produce the glue sticks.
