For off-cuts from HPL sheets that are not used or if discarded (big or small pieces), the team propose to embrace the principles
of circular economy, that is to create or derive new products, ie. High Pressure Laminate (HPL) Boxes (3 categories - Large,
Medium and Small) from these off-cuts (See Table 5). (The team had also created a business plan and proposal to showcase the
viability and potential of these products-refer to Annexe A).

3 prototypes of HPL Boxes for the team to build: Large, Medium and Small (Figures 9 to 11)
