Newspaper bag to replace plastic carry bag

1. .

2. The emotion of this project is to realize and awake from the contamination
THE INSIGHT
The Unrecyclable plastic waste takes long time to
decompose, its become toxic to the environment
This project is to find sustainable product to replace the
nondegradable plastic carry bag

4. THE EXISTING NEWSPAPER BAG

production stages
Stitch side and bottomVThe task is to redesign the handle
part of the news paper bag
The material cost & the production
time of the new design wanted to
be equal or less than current design
The production process can be done
by machine and manpower too.
The Design aspects
The time needs
to make the Jute knot
is very long and the Jute handle detach
from the handle mount when the load
is very high.
why redesign?

5. CONCEPT IDEATION
The energy flow through
the bag when weight
carries
Design a solution to strengthen
the area of paper base, where
concentrate stress of weight.
Pasting clay mud on paper
Pasting wheat floor glue on
paper to strengthen handle
mount
Apply rice starch on
paper base .

and use glue to fix handlecloth handle extends up to
the bottom ,fix by glue.

Considering the material availability and scope of machine manufacturing
Idea IV has been chosen for further development .
the coconut mid rib stick to the paper and
cloth handle stitch to the paper base

7. Production stages
I Marking cloth and cutting cloth II Paste glue on handle mount
and fix to newspaper base
III Stitch handle stripIV Stitch handle strip with
handle mount
PROTOTYPING
III used clothII split handleI raw cotton
Three different prototypes are made from the
final design concept. The production stages of
each prototype is similar.
raw cotton fabric is using for making handle and mount
Split handle mount for reducing the material
handle and mount is made from upcycled clothIII

8. TESTING PROTOTYPE
Material testing
The heat test is to understand whether
the material is polyester or cotton.
When polyester get heated the material start to swirl
The pure cotton fabric, burn like paper and the ash of
pure cotton is feel similar to paper ash
The load carrying capacity ,ergonomics and material
property of the handle part of the bag is checked by
different testing methods
