Abstract

This research aims to study the efficiency of wooden packaging materials and to analyze the design of wooden furniture from waste materials in the logistic industry using a sustainable approach in order to extend the design guidelines to community enterprises. The researcher has studied the related literature reviews in these areas, which are engineering, materials, and industrial product design. This analyzes the attributes of wooden pallet packaging to compare them with the standard of wooden furniture loading performance values from the American Library Association, whose strength is set at 45.37-286.34 kg/cm2. The results found that 3 types of wood were able to demonstrate the strength for the area at 272.16-453.59 kg/cm2, elastic strength at 145.16-333.00 kg/cm2 and toughness at 389.92 - 655.49 kg/cm2, showing all 3 types of wood meet the standard. The statistics used in the data analysis of this research were 1) mean 2) standard deviation 3) IOC analysis. The index of item objective congruence was 1.00 and content validity was equal to 0.58. In terms of the design, it was found that model 1 had the highest level of satisfaction at (   = 4.00) and the design responded to cost-effectiveness at the highest level ( = 4.67) showing that the satisfaction in the design of wooden furniture from waste materials in the logistic industry had the highest level to very good level of satisfaction.
