A Study on the Development of Wood Electronic Calculator

Recently, interest in the carbon storage of harvested wood is increasing in line with the growing social interest in the environment and health and the global issue of carbon neutrality. However, wood self-sufficiency rate in Korea is only about 15%. Domestic woods are used for low value-added purposes such as pulp materials, and most of them are imported products produced abroad. In addition, most of the workshops that manufacture and produce household goods using wood are small or dependent on individual skills, and thus have difficulties in mass production or product development. Therefore, this study established a direction for discovering and commercializing products that are widely used in everyday life and can be replaced with wood. The developed product was selected and developed with a wooden electronic calculator in consideration of price, productivity, marketability, and scalability. In this process, relatively high processing labor and material costs were consumed, but a competitive finished product was produced. As a result, the possibility of wood products was confirmed by developing products that could be distributed in the market. In particular, the developed wood products are expected to replace plastics and contribute to carbon neutrality in everyday life.
