roll-up ecobag

for Lawson

A stick-shaped reusable bag designed for Lawson, a leading convenience store chain active in reducing plastic waste.

The bag was required to be as compact and easy-to-access as possible, assuming it being carried in another bag or in a pocket based on the unique purchase behavior of convenience store customers, who stop by on the way to somewhere to buy a few items rather than a basketful of groceries.

First, a stick-shaped “case” was designed.
A cloth bag was stored in the case, and the bag can be pulled out at once by pulling the ring with one finger.
The case changes its role to be the “grip” of the bag that does not bite into the fingers, being more user-friendly than typical cloth bags.
The bottom is large enough to hold a convenience store bento lunch placed flat, and the side of the bag is designed with a wide opening so that large bottles can be easily taken in and out.

After use, the bag is quickly stored back in place by turning the dial on the side of the case.
Trial-and-errors were repeated to design an exhaust to release air inside as well as a bag’s shape that prevents twists and tangles during the winding process.
As a result, a bag that can be quickly taken out and easily stored while standing or walking without the hassle of unfolding/folding was materialized.

The bag was designed with hopes to be used as long as possible, being washable if detached from the case, with replaceable parts available in case of damages.

这是为致力于减少塑料垃圾的连锁便利商店劳森设计的一款树枝状可重复使用的袋子。

袋是需要尽可能紧凑,易于访问,假设另一个包或口袋里携带基于独特的便利店顾客购买行为,而停止在某个地方买一些物品而不是满篮的杂货。

首先，设计了一个棒状的“盒子”。

箱内装有一个布袋，用一根手指拉动戒指即可立即将布袋拉出。

表壳的作用变成了袋子的“握把”，不会咬到手指，比一般的布袋更方便使用。

底部足够大，可以装下便利店的便当，并把它平放，袋子的侧面设计了一个大开口，这样大的瓶子可以很容易地进出。

使用后，通过转动表壳侧面的表盘，袋子很快就会被放回原位。

为了设计出能够释放内部空气的排气装置，以及防止在卷绕过程中缠绕和缠结的袋子形状，他们反复试验和错误。

因此，一个可以在站立或行走时快速取出并方便存放而无需展开/折叠的袋子就成为了现实。

这款包的设计希望能使用的时间越长越好，如果从包壳上拆下来，就可以清洗，如果包壳损坏，还可以更换部件。
