Abstract :
“QuickSnap” is a recyclable “Film with Lens” system which was first released by Fuji Film in 1986. The “Quicksnap Recycle Center” using manual lines was established in 1990. Furthermore, the “QuickSnap PLUS3” was released in 1992 and it was designed based on the reuse concept. At the same time, an automatic reusing and recycling system was established. The author believe that reusing is better than recycling; the product designer considers the environmental design with feedback data from the reusing process. The authors call this concept the “circulation of technology”
