Interesting how this product uses various type of plastics. It is surprising to find not all are made of one kind of plastics. I think many designs and products would be more sustainable when they use one to two different materials. But for this product it uses steel for aesthetic and fastening joints, ABS for stronger robust build, PC for wall thickness and aesthetic, PE for functioning handheld parts, SAN for transparent quality.
It puts me to think of using materials and fastening joints more efficiently such as reduce the amount of screw and bolts fastenings, e.g. the efficient design would be to use mechanical snap fits and slots.
