can you help with my photography project?

Hi,

I am a design student currently in my third year of product design at the university of northampton and have a project whereby i am looking to design out waste within the area of digital memory cards and their packaging.

i am looking to design a unit that can store multiple memory cards in to eliminate the need of packaging for them in shops that would normally be thrown away.

The rough idea is that when you purchase a camera you get a container, then when you wish to buy a new or extra card you take it to the shop and they put it in the container and thus eliminates the need to package them in the ways they are currently packaged.

I would like to know if you use digital photography, if you use multiple cards and formats, would a product like this be of interest to you, do you think it would work and are you bothered about the packaging a memory card comes in?

Any feedback that you could give would be of great help towards the development of my idea and project.

very interesting design pitch, im always an advocate of sustainable design

here in the west coast we can recycle those blister packs so im not too worried about buying up products packaged in extensive amounts of packaging. and im not one to buy multiple cards so you can add that to your tally.

what would the container look like?

very simple to use and small, able to fit in your pocket or on your keys.

I live in northampton!
