Table of Contents Overview of Kodak Powerflash Definition of the Problem E-Waste Overview Survey Results Design Matrix/Approach Final Product Summary and Conclusions

The Kodak Powerflash 27 Exposure Disposable Camera Flash Capability AA Battery Used Current Cost: $5.99
4
What seems to be the problem? We recognize the need to increase market share and productivity of disposable cameras Problems with current design ◦Demand for disposable cameras is decreasing ◦Doesn’t appeal to developing countries ◦Wasted energy with the leftover battery ◦Production isn’t environmentally friendly E-waste
5
But What is E-waste? Electronic waste from obsolete technology Cell phones, Computers, TVs, etc. Contains toxic substances ◦lead, cadmium, beryllium, mercury
6
What does the Customer Want? Current Customer: Occasional traveler, people without sufficient income Potential Customer: Citizens of developing nations After basic survey, we collected the following data: NOTE: When asked if he/she would purchase the camera without the flash but significant price drop, many answered YES Most Important Quality: Cost Least Important Quality: E-Waste Other Important Qualities: Flash/Environmentally Friendly

Putting Concepts Together Combining several approaches ◦Removing the flash (Eliminates circuit board and battery) ◦Biodegradable plastic ◦Thinning the plastic Reduces E-Waste Cuts cost ◦Current KODAK Powerflash: $5.99 ◦Proposed KODAK Ecopic: $1.99 Creates a more sustainable product

Summary and Conclusions Our proposed design ◦Will increase appeal in developing countries Cheaper and more accessible ◦Be more environmentally friendly Possible use of Mirel bioplastics ◦Reduce E-waste significantly No Circuitry or Battery ◦Maximizes profit for Kodak Broadening customer base Billy Mays Here! You can’t afford NOT to buy “The Ecopic”!
