APPEEL

Part 1: Drawing key lessons

• The team has demonstrated logical problem solving from problem identification to prototype development.

• How did the team derive the process conditions for production of orange peel packaging?

Areas of improvement:

• The 'About APPEEL' slides could be moved back to after ideation. It seems odd to talk about the product before the problem statement.

• Evaluation of prototype 'functionality' could have included a real life test as packing material. Perhaps students could show how the orange peel could protect an egg from impact.

Part 2: Exploring Possibilities

• The logical continuation of this project would be to implement the solution for use actual shipping scenarios. How would the packing be mass produced and how much would it cost?

• Would existing logistic operators see any benefit of switching their packaging? How does it compare to styrofoam packing?
