The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of how biocomposites can beutilized to enable and simplify domestic waste management. The product designed in thisproject is built to compress waste and increase recycling rates. Through constructionalanalysis, calculations and simulations, the material DuraSense® was chosen, a sustainablebiocomposite based on recycled wood-fibres that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by upto 51% compared to an identical model produced in PP plastic.The result of the project concludes that composites can be utilized to optimize structuralintegrity whilst reducing environmental impact and costs. The possibility of using a sandwichconstruction was analysed but decided against, mainly due to production difficulties andcosts.
