Wind the gear to move the film across exposure area
Winding puts tension on spring so that the shutter lifts and film is exposed to light
Capacitor builds charge from battery and sends electric spark to bulb Bulb flashes at same moment that shutter lifts
When all exposures have been used, camera is taken to film processing center Camera is recycled/disposed of
We Define the Problem to be: Shrinking Market Limited sustainability Source of E-Waste
E-Waste is waste generated when electronic devices are disposed of It contains many harmful toxins Most e-waste is exported to developing countries Disposable cameras contribute to e-waste
Shrinking Market = Limited Sustainability + E-Waste =
Fit the product to a new, modern, eco- friendly market Right now, environmentally friendly is also profitable
Customer Needs Assessment All of those surveyed were years old 100% of those surveyed own a digital camera 10% have used a disposable camera in the past year The most popular response to “do you know anyone who uses a disposable camera?” was “my grandparents”
Analysis of Market Research Young people have completely replaced the disposable camera with the digital Teenage and early adult consumers are technology dependent
Overall, the market research we conducted led us to believe that the best option for the FunSaver camera is to find a new, less technology-dependent market

Analysis of Design-Selection Matrix Best Design: Camera For Kids Disposables are cheap and thus parents give them to kids without worry of damage Market is not technology-dependent Best Features to include in camera: Rubber Casing Handle/Strap Bigger Capture Button
Concept: Make the FunSaver more appealing to a new market: young kids Easier to use Less Expensive by increased sustainability Increasing the number of times the camera can be recycled by increasing durability
Works the same way as the original Improving the shell only Easier to hold with rubber grips and strap Larger button for ease of use
Increasing durability On average, a disposable camera is recycled (meaning repackaged with new film and resold) 3 times before it cannot be reused
Rubber Grips absorb shock and prevent damage when camera is dropped Strap prevents frequent dropping of camera Less damage to shell means camera can be reused more, leading to less e-waste
Cost- The same or less as consumer pays now: $5.00-$6.00 Short-term cost Slightly more expensive at first Cost of manufacturing rubber case and strap Long-term cost Less expensive in long run More durable camera can be recycled more times Decreasing need of production=decreasing production costs
