Due to the complexity of the internal components, a large footprint is produced through the manufacturer
-
Some plastic materials used in the production are not recyclable
-
The actual use time of the product is much shorter than its lifespan before they were abandoned because of over-purchasing within each user community


Is it feasible to uphold the elevated aesthetics and design quality while reducing the components of the French Press, thereby achieving a more sustainable product life cycle?
