Design modular: acessórios sustentáveis a partir do reaproveitamento de têxteis

Abstract

As alterações climáticas e a urgência na mudança de hábitos de consumo são questões que têm vindo a ser discutidas ao longo dos anos. Com o foco na importância de existir medidas sustentáveis para mitigar os impactos ambientais, surgiu a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: “Podem ser feitos acessórios modulares com o reaproveitamento de têxteis e construídos apenas com o encaixe entre módulos?”. Para além disso, questiona-se a possibilidade de desenvolver um acessório, que permita ao consumidor a montagem/desmontagem consoante as suas necessidades e que tenha uma preocupação com o zero desperdício. Para alcançar os objetivos avançou-se com um processo de desenvolvimento de novos produtos que se dividiu em quatro fases. A primeira consistiu na caracterização dos substratos-base, destacando a resistência à formação de borboto e à flexão, assim como a repelência à água. A segunda concentrou-se na identificação de formas, estruturas, métodos e sistemas de encaixe mais adequados para o acessório, chegando-se à conclusão, por exemplo, que as formas curvas são as mais apropriadas, tendo em conta que não contenham estruturas vazadas. A terceira etapa envolveu uma seleção, considerando o desempenho de cada amostra a testes laboratoriais no aparelho do Dinamómetro. Por fim, a última etapa abarcou um estudo de soluções para melhorar o material em termos de rigidez e de repelência à água através de um acabamento de amido de milho. A investigação ocorreu durante 8 meses, recolhendo um conjunto diversificado de dados, tais como, esboços, experiências, desenhos digitais, notas, amostras, projetos experimentais, fotografias e protótipos que desempenharam um papel crucial no progresso do estudo. O resultado consiste numa bolsa de 100 módulos feita de resíduos de não-tecido 100% Lã Burel, concebido para a reciclagem e com zero desperdício. É um produto versátil, sustentável, resistente e a sua funcionalidade, adaptabilidade e personalização tornam atraente para uma variedade de aplicações, desde carteiras até cintos e pulseiras. Além disso, a reversibilidade do design amplia as opções de uso, enquanto a alça ajustável com 10 zonas de regulação contribui para a sua praticidade. Esta investigação ofereceu um novo produto com modificações incrementais e um redesenho, colaborando significativamente para o campo do design modular. Validou teorias através de investigações, ofereceu soluções sustentáveis e procurou promover a conscientização ambiental. Suas implicações são cruciais para a gestão de recursos e resíduos em um mundo que enfrenta desafios ambientais urgentes. Este trabalho apela à ação, incentivando a pesquisa contínua e a adoção de produtos sustentáveis.

Climate change and the urgency to change consumption habits are issues that have been discussed over the years. Focusing on the importance of having sustainable measures to mitigate environmental impacts, the following research question arose: “Can modular accessories be made by reusing textiles and built simply by fitting modules together?” Furthermore, the possibility of developing an accessory is questioned, which allows the consumer to assemble/disassemble according to their needs and it is concerned with zero waste. To achieve the objectives, a product development process was carried out, which was divided into four phases. The first consisted of characterizing the base substrates, highlighting resistance to pilling and flexing, as well as water repellence. The second focused on identifying the most suitable shapes, structures, methods and fitting systems for the accessory, reaching the conclusion, for example, that curved shapes are the most appropriate, taking into account that they do not contain hollow structures. The third stage involved a selection, considering the performance of each sample in laboratory tests on the Dynamometer device. Finally, the last stage included a study of solutions to improve the material in terms of rigidity and water repellence through a cornstarch finish. The research took place over 8 months, collecting a diverse set of data such as sketches, experiments, digital drawings, notes, samples, experimental designs, photographs and prototypes that played a crucial role in the progress of the study. The result consists of a bag of 100 modules made from 100% Burel Wool non-woven waste, designed for recycling and with zero waste. It is a versatile, sustainable, resistant product and its functionality, adaptability and customization make it attractive for a variety of applications, from wallets to belts and bracelets. Furthermore, the reversibility of the design expands the usage options, while the adjustable strap with 10 adjustment zones contributes to its practicality. This research offered a new product with incremental modifications and a redesign, significantly contributing to the field of modular design. It validated theories through investigations, offered sustainable solutions and sought to promote environmental awareness. Its implications are crucial for resource and waste management in a world facing urgent environmental challenges. This work calls for action, encouraging continued research and adoption of sustainable products.
