The initial concept for my studio project is a in-built kitchen counter can crusher.
Over the holidays I did a lot of cooking and the amount of tin cans for tinned tomatoes, baked beans, etc took up a lot of space in my rubbish bin. The cans I put in the bin were full size and had not been crushed or flattened in any way. While I myself posses the strength to flatten the cans partially, other people do not. If a machine could do this job then the cans will be much smaller and save more space in the pre-paid council recycling bags.
After talking with my lecturer about my project, the main piece of feedback I was given was to take a step back and look at all recycling and not focus too quickly on just cans. By doing this I will get a much more in-depth knowledge of the whole process and it will also give me more information to call upon when designing my 3 concepts.
