Table of Contents Opportunity Research Specifications Ideas Idea Evalutation Our Design Why It Will Work Summary
The Current Design is Obsolete Opportunity: people could buy more
disposable cameras The current plastic is not eco-friendly Our circuit board uses antiquated
through-hole technology and leaded solder
Research Target customers: families, older
people, and people in the lowest income bracket

New and Improved Design! Surface mount circuit board Lead free solder PLA polymer instead of traditional
plastic housing
Surface Mount Technology Smaller, cheaper parts Machine placed PCB costs less Uses lead-free solder
PLA Polymer PLA or Polylactic Acid Resin is a
polymer made from corn Replaces traditional petroleum-based
plastic 65% less energy to produce 68% fewer greenhouse gases
generated Contains no toxins
Socially Sustainable Kept the flash More eco-friendly Bring jobs to United States
Would Customers Pay Up to $1 More for Each Camera for It to
Be More Eco-friendly?YesNo
Ecologically Sustainable RoHS compliant circuitry, due to lead
free solder and different circuit board materials
Use of PLA polymer instead of current plastic
Economically Sustainable Even though PLA will cost around
10% more than plastic, our customers care about saving the Earth
SMT costs less than through-hole technology
Its assembly requires fewer workers
Summary These design changes will improve
the product It will increase our company’s
popularity with environmentalists We will fulfill our duty to our planet We will sell more disposable
cameras!
