Laundry dryers in RVRC and other residential colleges generate significant amounts of lint that end up being disposed of. To reduce the amount of lint being disposed of,our project aims to upcycle lint into a useful product (cardholders) that is frequently used by many RVRC residents. Additionally, we want to improve the user-friendliness and durability of our lint cardholders, which would ensure the sustainability of our product. We conducted two Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and post-discussion surveys to gather feedback from our users. The first FGD was to gather input on ways we could improve our lint cardholder prototype. The second FGD was to collect data on whether the previously-raised issues had been resolved. Almost all respondents have indicated a significant improvement since the first prototype. Hence, our project shows that it is possible to reduce lint waste by upcycling it into a useful and sustainable everyday product.
