친환경 화장품 발명 디자인 작품 사례 연구

The cosmetics market is rapidly changing to be eco-friendly as a keyword. The cosmetics industry is implementing various strategies such as upcycling and packaging eco-friendly materials that focus on reducing the use of plastic. This paper intends to conduct a study on the case of empirical eco-friendly cosmetic invention design works. In the future, it aims to be used as basic data for the invention design of eco-friendly cosmetics. The scope of the study is limited to the works of University A, which participated in the 14th Green Packaging Contest hosted by the Korea Environmental Packaging Promotion Agency and sponsored by the Ministry of Environment. The production period of the works was from September 1st to October 15th, 2024. There are a total of 21 works, and among the characteristics of the works, it was found out whether the characteristics of parts replacement, material replacement, and raw material replacement appear. In conclusion, eco-friendly cosmetic invention designs with the characteristics of replacing parts are mainly appearing. In the cosmetics industry, the chemical approach is rather easy, so there are many cases where the raw material approach is often used, but in the case of the works that students submit to the contest, it is more accessible to add, replace, or remove parts in the container. It aims to contribute to the development of eco-friendly cosmetic invention design through this paper.
