Looking in to the household trash, I realized that a lot of things people throw away are packages. Some packages are kept for other use, depending on either the users or the designers, but most of them are thrown away or recycled.
I want to design a package that functions more than a package, to cut down material waste in house hold and expand the object’s (the package) life spend.

In commercial place, people follow the instruction on the trash can and put trash in the right place.
People leave the bottle on top of the trash can or on the ground on the street, even though the trash can us next to it.
5
There are variety kinds of house hold trash. It contains some big objects, such as big shipping box or milk package.Restaurants or retail stores have these kinds of big size trash as well. Most of time they are bagged or boxed.
In industrial, recycle companies re-catalog the trash.

Throw away
The ownership changes, but the original owner still has access to it.
The original owner does not have access to it, but it is still in use.
Become another thing or waste. It is the end of the product’s life cycle.
How to expand products’/objects’ life spend?
“Scores of old files, letters and mementos have been recycled. Bags of books, clothes, coats, shoes and linens have been donated to charities. New and hardly used kitchen equipment has been given to those who need it more than I do.”

Person 1
keep all packages of digital products(computer/ printer/ camera..etc.)
stack together with nothing inside
protect the piece when moving and digital products always have nice
package
Person 2
keep a lot of shipping boxes(big and strong ones)
laying out on the floor with a lot different things inside
storage
Person 3
reuse/re-purpose small size containers
use glass bottle as a flower vase
beautiful enough to be kept

Packaging : the science, art, and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use
•People keep package for their very personal reason.
•Designers try to do some design on the package to give it a second life/function besides packing.

Research with existing package and solution
Package involved with?Activity + product
Talk to package designers/companies
Research on the product and the activity
Defined target user and market
Observe and interview on package reuse in general
Observe and interview on certain product and activity
