Technical progress and innovation must play a very important role in protecting the environment by meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations.

This research article proposes two innovations to reduce the impact on the environment of two products used frequently in everyday life: the whiteboard marker and the toothbrush, which generate a lot of indirect waste during their production and waste. direct in nature after their end of life. Our innovation is the design of an "eco-marker" and an "eco-brush" that are not all disposable in whole. Both solutions are to keep the body of the marker for a very long time, and to keep the handle of the toothbrush and just change the head: which will significantly reduce the generation of waste.

Abstract
Technical progress and innovation must play a very important role in protecting the environment by meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations. The challenges of the environment are universal: the daily erosion of biodiversity, the generation of waste and the consumption of excess energy, have all become the concerns of all industrial and academic actors. Studies show that the majority of waste thrown into the wild is no longer collected for possible recycling and negatively influences biodiversity. This research article proposes two innovations to reduce the impact on the environment of two products used frequently in everyday life: the whiteboard marker and the toothbrush, which generate a lot of indirect waste during their production and waste. direct in nature after their end of life. Our innovation is the design of an "eco-marker" and an "eco-brush" that are not all disposable in whole. Both solutions are to keep the body of the marker for a very long time, and to keep the handle of the toothbrush and just change the head: which will significantly reduce the generation of waste.

Abstract: (french)
Le progrès technique et l’innovation doivent jouer un rôle très important dans la protection de l’environnement en répondant aux besoins des générations présentes sans compromettre à la capacité des générations futures. Les enjeux de l’environnement sont universels : l’érosion quotidienne de la biodiversité, la génération des déchets et la consommation excédée d’énergie, sont tous devenus les soucis de tous les acteurs industriels et académiques. Les études montrent que la majorité des déchets jetés dans la nature ne sont plus collectés pour un éventuel recyclage et influencent négativement la biodiversité. Cet article de recherche propose deux innovations pour réduire l’impact sur l’environnement de deux produits utilisés fréquemment au quotidien : « le marqueur pour tableau blanc » et « la brosse à dents », c’est deux objets domestiques génèrent beaucoup de déchets indirects lors de leurs productions et des déchets directs dans la nature après leur fin de vie. Notre innovation consiste en la conception d’un « éco-marqueur » et d’une « éco-brosse » qui ne sont pas jetable tous en entiers. Les deux solutions proposent de garder le corps du marqueur pour une très longue durée, et à garder la manche de la brosse à dents et changer juste la tête : ce qui va réduire d’une manière considérable la génération des déchets.
Author Keywords: éco-brosse à dents, éco-marqueur, fin de vie, éco-matériaux, hygiène, déchets plastiques, enseignement.
