Malunga ne-LastSwab Iswabhu Esetyenziswa Kwakhona

ILastSwab yiswabhu esetyenziswa kwakhona eyenzelwe ukuba libe lelinye ikhethelo endaweni yeeswabhu zomqhaphu ezisetyenziswa kube kanye. ILastSwab inokusetyenziswa ukuya kutsho kwiwaka lamaxesha kwaye kulula ukuyisebenzisa nokuyicoca. Ubume bayo buyilelwe ukuba buzive ngathi yiswabhu yomqhaphu eqhelekileyo. Kwenziwe iindidi ezimbini: uhlobo lweBasic olusetyenziselwa izinto ngokubanzi kunye nohlobo lweBeauty olunencam egotyiweyo eyenzelwe ukulungisa isimbozo (make-up). Zombini ezi ndidi ziza nengxowana yokuyiphatha eyenziwe ngeplastiki eyenziwe kwakhona ebisiya elwandle, ekwasetyenziselwa nentonga yayo. Incam yenziwe nge-thermoplastic elastomer kwaye ayiwafunxi amanzi.

Ikhithi Yeendaba

Iziqinisekiso, amalungu eqela kunye neenkcukacha zobugcisa ezinikezelwe ngumyili.

Iimpawu Ezizodwa: LastSwab is a reusable and sustainable alternative to single-use cotton swabs. LastSwab is designed to be used up to a thousand times and to be easy to use, easy to clean, and most importantly designed to feel like the swabs we are used to. It is made in two versions, a Basic version to replace the purpose of a cotton swab, and a Beauty version with an angled tip for correcting make-up. Both come in a carrying case made from recycled ocean-bound plastic, which is also used for the rod of the swab.
Imilinganiselo nePakishini: LastSwab (in carrying case): Width 109 mm x Depth 18 mm x Height 14 mm
Iithegi: Reusable, Sustainable, Swab, Buds, Q Tip, Alternative, Ocean Bound Plastic, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Ears
Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa: In collaboration with Resea Project, ocean-bound plastic is collected and driven to a factory where it is transformed into plastic pellets. Afterward, the plastic pellets are pressed through an injection mold and into molds that shape the rod. Then the rod is mechanically removed, turned, and over-molded. In the next step, the tip made of TPE is applied to the rod. Finally, the swab is put into the carrying case, which undergoes the same stage of production as the rod, only in a different mold.
Umngeni Woyilo: The hardest part is creating something new, while at the same time not forcing change upon the user. We all know how hard it is to change our habits. If you create a product that expects the user to change a habit you risk them buying it but not using it. This would defeat the purpose of LastObject. Creating something beautiful, durable, simple, environmentally friendly, and self-explanatory is also important, but less of a challenge.
Uphando: Online search will usually lead to scientific or business reports. Ultimately we'll create several "life cycle assessment" reports for each of our products to understand the impact better. It starts with the question: Does this need to be a single-use item?
We used Google and Wikipedia which then led us to more hard facts.
We do user trials with prototypes. Our process is quite circular: research, design, tests, feedback, design changes, or new research and repeat.
Inkuthazo: Every day 1.5 billion disposable cotton swabs are produced and every year an average person uses hundreds of them. To manufacture a disposable cotton swab resources have to be taken out of the ground, moved to a production facility, produced, packaged, shipped, and then purchased by a consumer. This entire procedure requires the cotton swab to be used once and then discarded. By using LastSwab we eliminate the need to produce and use resources that are unnecessary.
Ubude Beprojekthi: The project started in November 2018 in Copenhagen and LastSwab launched on the crowdfunding platforms Kickstarter and IndieGoGo in April 2019. LastSwab is now available on our own website.
Ukuhamba Komsebenzi: When using LastSwab, simply take it out of the carrying case and use it for any purpose you may have. It can be used for anything that you would use a regular cotton swab for. It does not absorb water. After using it, you can clean it with hot water and soap.
The beauty swab has an angled tip that is made for correcting make-up.
