Abstract

Toys Design from Scrap Wood Waste by Pallet Maker Group Co., Ltd.

Objective

บริษัท พาเลท เมกเกอร์ กรุ๊ป จำกัด เป็นผู้ผลิตพาเลทไม้ ซึ่งมีกระบวนการผลิตที่ทำให้เกิดเศษไม้เหลือทิ้งจำนวนมาก เศษไม้เหล่านี้มักถูกกำจัดทิ้งหรือนำไปขายในราคาต่ำ ซึ่งนอกจากจะเป็นการสูญเสียทรัพยากรแล้วยังส่งผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม เช่น การเพิ่มปริมาณขยะและปัญหาการตัดไม้ทำลายป่า โครงการนี้จึงมีแนวคิดในการนำเศษไม้เหล่านี้มาออกแบบและผลิตเป็นของเล่นเชิงการศึกษาที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างพัฒนาการของเด็ก โดยมุ่งเน้นให้เป็นของเล่นที่ปลอดภัยและเป็นมิตรต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม นอกจากนี้ โครงการนี้ยังสอดคล้องกับแนวคิดเศรษฐกิจหมุนเวียน (Circular Economy) ที่มุ่งเน้นการใช้ทรัพยากรอย่างคุ้มค่าและลดขยะ ด้วยการนำวัสดุเหลือใช้กลับมาใช้ใหม่ (Upcycling) อีกทั้งยังแสดงให้เห็นถึงความสำคัญของการออกแบบอย่างรับผิดชอบ ที่สามารถสร้างมูลค่าเพิ่มจากวัสดุที่ถูกมองข้ามได้อย่างสร้างสรรค์

Production of Lactic acid bacteria prototype from Thailand for use as probiotics for livestock animals

This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF DENDROCALAMUS ASPER BLENDED FIBER FOR ECO-FRIENDLY TEXTILE PRODUCT DESIGN

This research confirms the potential of bamboo fiber as a sustainable raw material for the textile industry, demonstrating exceptional properties that meet both functional requirements and environmental friendliness. The study focuses on integrating sustainability concepts with material innovation, encompassing fiber property analysis, production process development, and product design. The research objectives were to: 1) develop the properties of bamboo fiber for production; 2) study factors in designing environmentally friendly textile products from bamboo fiber; and 3) forecast future prospects for environmentally friendly textile product design using bamboo fiber. The findings revealed that 60-day-old bamboo possessed optimal properties for fiber separation, with an average fiber size of 5.32 μm, smaller than other natural fibers, resulting in superior moisture absorption and ventilation properties. When blended with recycled polyester fiber in a 30:70 ratio, the yarn exhibited strength and unique tactile characteristics. Although the antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus were low, the fibers demonstrated excellent whiteness and softness. Factor analysis identified four key components in product design: Local Materials, Green Products, Healthy, and Sustainability. Consumer satisfaction evaluation of the prototype products showed high levels of acceptance, with the model explaining 84.7% of consumer satisfaction. The developed production process reduced chemical usage and hazardous waste. Furthermore, utilizing fast-growing bamboo minimized long-term environmental impact, contributing to sustainable development in Thailand's rural communities across economic, environmental, and occupational stability dimensions. The research demonstrates that developing bamboo fiber blended with recycled polyester creates sustainable products that meet consumer demands for health consciousness, local material utilization, and green product promotion. Commercial implementation of these products can enhance economic value and promote environmentally friendly product development in the future.
