Sustainability in the business context: Contributions of product design.
O trabalho objetivou desenvolver um artefato eco eficiente para um negócio sustentável, para isto,
foi necessário realizar um estudo sobre aspectos da sustentabilidade, interligando estes a movimentos
da cultura DIY e minimalista. Esses estudos culturais relacionados ao tema, mostraram-se de suma
importância para a realização do artefato final, que traz como principais caracterÃsticas elementos da
estética sustentável e referências destas culturas. Dentro do universo e premissas sustentáveis, a
escolha foi desenvolver um artefato para foodbike, direcionada ao público ambulante, sendo uma
alternativa econômica aos microempreendedores. A matéria prima escolhida – palete – teve uma
relevância importante para economia local, uma vez que se trata de um material de reutilização, com
ótimas qualidades mecânicas, aspecto primordial para confecção do artefato final. Ao trabalhar
materiais com grande potêncial para ressignificação, foi necessário perceber que a cada passagem
uma nova estética surge aos olhos dos consumidores.The objective of the work was to develop an eco-efficient artefact for a sustainable business, for this,
it was necessary to carry out a study on aspects of sustainability, interconnecting these to movements
of the DIY and minimalist culture. These cultural studies related to the theme have proved to be of
utmost importance for the final artifact, which brings as main characteristics elements of sustainable
aesthetics and references of these cultures. Within the universe and sustainable premises, the choice
was to develop an artifact for foodbike, aimed at the traveling public, being an economic alternative
to microentrepreneurs. The chosen raw material - pallet - had an important relevance for local
economy, since it is a material of reutilization, with excellent mechanical qualities, primordial aspect
for confection of the final artifact. When working materials with great potential for re-signification,
it was necessary to realize that at each passage a new aesthetic appears in the eyes of the consumers
Color, texture and sustainability: an analysis of the perception of the sustainability value in eco-oriented products and consumer profile
A cada dia surgem tecnologias que são estudados para auxiliar as indústrias na melhoria suas
metas e cumprimento da legislação ambiental da melhor forma possÃvel. Alguns desses objetivos
influenciam direta ou indiretamente a estética dos produtos, podendo afetar desde as técnicas de
produção até o tempo de vida do artefato. Este trabalho faz um paralelo entre aspectos estéticos de
produtos ecologicamente orientados, e o conhecimento do consumidor sobre sustentabilidade. Nesta
investigação foi realizado um experimento com 60 participantes divididos em 4 grupos, no intuito de
levantar dados que permitissem analisar a hipótese, de que o conhecimento sobre sustentabilidade
influencia na escolha de determinadas cores e texturas. Ao final não se encontra uma relação entre o
conhecimento do consumidor sobre sustentabilidade e as cores ou texturas dos materiais naturais,
mas identificamos uma preferência do público por tais materiais, apesar da média de preço sugerida
pelo mesmo ser menor que o esperado.Every day, technologies emerge that are studied to assist industries in improving their goals and
complying with environmental legislation in the best possible way. Some of these objectives directly
or indirectly influence the aesthetics of the products, which can affect from production techniques to
the lifetime of the artifact. This work parallelsthe aesthetic aspects of ecologically oriented products,
and consumer knowledge about sustainability. In this investigation, an experiment was carried out
with 60 participants divided into 4 groups, in order to raise data that would allow analyzing the
hypothesis, that knowledge about sustainability influences the choice of certain colors and textures.
At the end there is no relationship between consumer knowledge about sustainability and the colors
or textures of natural materials, but we identified a preference of the public for such materials,
despite the average price suggested by the same being significantly lower
Plastic polymers and social vulnerability: Precious Plastic as a program for sustainable development capable of achieving the pillars of sustainability
The issue of plastic pollution on the planet not only affects the environment but also impacts the
three pillars of sustainability, affecting the environment, food production, as well as the health and
economy of individuals and communities located geographically close to where the life cycle of these
materials occurs, from production to disposal. This text is dedicated to studying the Precious Plastic
project as a program capable of combating the social harm caused by the production and disposal of
synthetic polymers. To do this, it uses the concept of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and investigates
how the organization and distribution of various elements of the project's network can contribute to
meeting the motivational needs of Maslow's hierarchy, thus combating situations of social
vulnerability
