지속가능한 디자인측면으로 접근한 친환경 과일난좌 개발 - 범용 디자인 요소를 적용한 과일난좌 중심으로 -

Purpose of using fruit tray is to prevent depreciation of product due to damage and deterioration of fruit in the process of distribution. Recently, it is recommended to use packing material that is reusable or recyclable to reduce waste. Until now, researches about tray mostly focused on its functionality for distribution, but not it requires an approach from sustainable design point of view. Thus, this study aims to develop a fruit tray from sustainable design approach, confirm its functionality, conduct fundamental research fusing functionality and substantiality to prepare fundamental data of after fruit tray study. The study reviewed previous papers and research reports about tray for theoretical contemplation, and confirmed functionality(dropping impact simulation, compression load test) of tray that applied wide-use design factors among sustainable design approaches. To apply the wide-use design element, the study produced a tray considering its economic, environmental, common feature. As the result of distribution and stability test, the damage rate of fruit decreased about 10～13% compared to current packaging material PSP, and the maximum load was about 4 times higher. This study is significant as it developed a packing design not only the distribution stability point of view but also the design approach. However, there is a need for follow up studies about correlation between sustainble design approach and distribution stability test.
