Study of Utilization Plastic Waste as Basic Material for Boat Manufacturing Using Eco-green Design Concept

Abstract

The plastic waste problem has become a global problem and the effect on the environment is horrible.Almost all countries make an effort to reduce their daily utilization. Environmental organizations and researchers are also performing research to find ways to recycle plastic waste. In this paper introduces the “Eco-green Design Concept” to utilize plastic waste (type 2) as fishing boat material. This concept will recycle 3 tonnes of plastic waste into the material of a fishing boat. In addition, the implementation element of eco-green design concept (design quality (D), Environmental Friendly (E), Eco-green Material (G)) into the design of fishing vessels has been successful. The concept does not only utilize type 2 plastic waste into the hull of the ship, but the design of the ship is made to have small resistance, good stability and has a large cargo area. And also has a machine that is environmentally friendly and does not cause pollution.
