Social Issue - WPR2

I have been experimenting with mock up models and designs. I have done some primary research such as calling the manufacturer and asking exactly why half the container only contains air and why the lid is made of PP and the body made of HDPE.
From what I have observed there is no resaon for PP as the lid and HDPE as body hence I am changing the design to all HDPE.
I do not believe that settling is the reason for the container being half full of air as the powder has the same consistency as instant coffe (coffee tins come full).

Current Weight Loss Powder Tub; Net 375g

·         Uses only 60% of its capacity; 942cm3

·         Wastes space due to its circular base

·         Uses HDPE and a PP lid which is more strenuous to the recycling process

·         Boring cylindrical shape

·         Label is also made of different material

Current Dimension

·         Height; 120mm

·         Volume; 942cm3

·         1g of powder = 0.63 cm3

Proposed Design

·         HDPE as the sole exclusive material used for ease of recycling.

·         Hexagonal tesselating base

·         90% of capacity used

·         Lid measures out exactly one serving; no need to put hand into container for ease of access and hygiene

·         Pour out contents instead of using a scoop

·         Clear side panel to monitor progress

·         Sticker progress reporter laser cut also made from HDPE
-    Printed on label

Proposed Dimension Test 1 - Failed

·         Height; 750mm

·         Diameter; 80mm

·         Volume; 416cm3

Base is too wide for height. This test failed on SolidWorks raw mock up.

Proposed Dimension Test 2 -Success

·         Height; 140mm

·         Diameter; 60mm

·         Volume; 436cm3

This was a better fit.
