Design de produto aplicado à área da higiene oral

Design de produto aplicado à área da higiene oral

Abstract

A presente investigação insere-se na área de Design de Produto no sector da higiene oral, mais propriamente, no redesenho dos tubos das pastas dentífricas. As pastas de dentes são um objeto de uso diário, presente no quotidiano de toda a população. Este objeto, apesar de ter sofrido algumas alterações ao longo do tempo – introdução de pastas sólidas, objetos de auxílio à remoção da pasta do interior do tubo, formato do mesmo, entre outros – ainda não é um objeto que responda às necessidades do consumidor e do meio ambiente de forma eficaz e sustentável. Do ponto de vista do utilizador, o manuseamento do objeto – tubo de pasta de dentes – não é completamente eficaz. Para além disso, acaba por acarretar uma maior despesa, ao implicar a compra de mais do que o necessário. O desperdício, quer de material, recursos e do próprio conteúdo em si, é também desproporcional e necessita de intervenção urgente. Como tal, a intervenção do Design nesta área, enquanto disciplina, pode tornar estes pequenos – mas tão importantes – objetos mais funcionais, rentáveis e contribuir para uma redução de custos, associados ao desperdício gerado pela indústria e consumo. Consequentemente, a pegada ecológica do sector e dos indivíduos pode ser diminuida, tornando estes tubos de pasta de dentes mais sustentáveis e melhorar a experiência da sua utilização. Este projeto de final de Mestrado baseia-se em metodologias não intervencionistas e intervencionistas de base qualitativa. A investigação ativa é também aplicada no desenvolvimento do projeto e do protótipo e os principais objetivos a alcançar são o aproveitamento da pasta dentífrica na sua totalidade e a eliminação de material e embalagens excessivas e desnecessárias. Um outro objetivo é a sensibilização da população para um consumo responsável e para o uso de embalagens mais sustentáveis.

ABSTRACT: The present investigation is part of the Product Design area of the oral hygiene sector, more precisely, in the redesign of toothpaste tubes. Toothpastes are an object of daily use, present in the daily lives of the entire population. This object, despite having undergone some changes over time - introduction of solid pastes, objects that help remove the paste from inside the tube, its shape, among others – it’s still not an object that responds to the needs of the consumer and the environment effectively and sustainably. From the user's point of view, handling the object - toothpaste tube - is not completely effective. In addition, it ends up causing a higher expense, as it implies the purchase of more than necessary. The waste of material, resources and the content itself is also disproportionate and requires urgent intervention. As such, the intervention of Design in this area, as a discipline, can make these small - yet so important - objects more functional, useful and contribute to a reduction in costs, associated with the waste generated by this industry and its consumption. Consequently, the ecological footprint of the sector and individuals can be reduced, making these toothpaste tubes more sustainable and improving the experience of their use. This final Master’s project is based on non-interventionist and qualitative-based interventionist methodologies. Active research is also applied to the development of the project and the prototype. The main objectives to be achieved are the use of toothpaste in its entirety and the elimination of excessive and unnecessary material and packaging. Another objective is to raise public awareness of responsible consumption and the use of more sustainable packaging.
