Matchbox Idea
2. INNOVATION IN NOT ALWAYS
ABOUT INVENTING SOMETHING
NEW, SOMETIMES ITS ABOUT
ADDING VALUE TO WHAT ALREADY
EXISTS.
SO HOW CAN WE ADD VALUE TO A
MATCHBOX?

3. ONE WAY OF ADDING VALUE TO A MATCHBOX WOULD BE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF OUR MATCHSTICKS
POURING TO THE GROUND EACH TIME WE FORGET WHICH SIDE IS THE RIGHT WAY UP.
THIS CAN BE EMBARASSING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU OFFER TO LIGHT SOMEONES CIGARETTE OR WHEN YOU’RE
COOKING… I CAN THINK OF SO MANY OTHER WAYS THIS PROBLEM MIGHT HAVE EMBARASSED US.

6. PLACING THE LUMINESCENT MARKERS ON A MATCHBOX SOLVES
THE PROBLEM OF HAVING OUR MATCHSTICKS SPILLING OVER
WHEN WE OPEN THEM IN THE WRONG WAY.
CUSTOMERS WILL FEEL THE ADDED VALUE OF A MATCHBOX
MANUFACTURER THAT IMPROVES THE USABILITY OF ITS
PRODUCTS.
THE SECOND SECTION PRESENTS A CHEAP, EASILY IMPLIMENTABLE AND SAFE IDEA ON HOW TO PREVENT
FIRES WHILE USING MATCHSTICKS.

OR

10. RISKS ATTACHED TO LIGHTING A MATCHSTICK
? IF NOT EXTINGUISHED PROPERLY MATCHES FLARE UP AGAIN WHEN DROPPED IN BINS OR ON THE
GROUND. BURST FLAMES ARE LIKELY ( APPROXIMATELY 1/10 TIMES) TO DEVELOP IF DROPPED ON
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AND ACCELERANTS (DAEID, 2004, P.27). SOME OF THE HAZARDS ATTRIBUTED
TO FIRES CAUSED BY MATCHSTICKS ARE:
? LOSS OF LIFE. CHILDREN ARE MORE AT RISK TO FIRES CAUSED BY MATCHSTICKS (EAST SIDE FIRE
DEPARTMENT, 2016; THE CITY OF MARSHALL TEXAS, 2016; GOVERNMENT OF WEST SUSSEX, 2016).
? LOSS OF PROPERTY (DAEID, 2004, P.27-28; EAST SIDE FIRE DEPARTMENT, 2016).
? ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (DAEID, 2004, P.28).

11. SOLUTION : STEPS TO RISK MITIGATION
PLEASE VISIT MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MORE IDEAS [HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/IDEASTOCHANGETHEWORLD/]. THANK YOU.
WHEN WE DO NOT HAVE AN ASHTRAY , WE COULD
FORM THE HABIT OF PLACING OUR BURNT- OUT
MATCHSTICKS IN AN EMPTY MATCHBOX.
WE CAN TAKE THIS A STEP FURTHER BY PLACING AN
EMPTY SMALLER MATCHBOX INTO A BIGGER MATCHBOX,
AND THEN DROP OUR USED MATCHSTICK(s) INTO THE
SMALLER MATCHBOX.
12. SOLUTION : STEPS TO RISK MITIGATION
PLEASE VISIT MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MORE IDEAS [HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/IDEASTOCHANGETHEWORLD/]. THANK YOU.
DEVELOPING THE HABIT OF PLACING THE SMALLER MATCHBOX – FILLED WITH BURNT-OUT MATCHSTICKS - INTO
THE LARGER MATCHBOX, SAVES YOU FROM MISPLACING THE SMALLER MATCHBOX AND AT THE SAME TIME
OFFERS YOU A CLEAN AND EASY WAY TO TEMPORARILY STORE AND CARRY USED MATCHSTICSKS.
13. SOLUTION : STEPS TO RISK MITIGATION
PLEASE VISIT MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MORE IDEAS [HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/IDEASTOCHANGETHEWORLD/]. THANK YOU.
AFTER SOME TIME, THE SMALLER MATCHBOX WOULD GET FILLED UP WITH BURNT-OUT MATCHSTICKS . THIS
TIME-LAG GIVES YOU THE ASSURANCE THAT YOUR USED MATCHSTICKS ARE SAFE FOR DISPOSAL AND ARE LESS
LIKELY TO BE A SOURCE OF COMBUSTION.
14. SOLUTION : STEPS TO RISK MITIGATION
PLEASE VISIT MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MORE IDEAS [HTTPS://M.FACEBOOK.COM/IDEASTOCHANGETHEWORLD/]. THANK YOU.
THE DESCRIBED METHOD OF MATCHSTICK DISPOSAL IS SAFE, EFFICIENT, EASILY REUSABLE AND COST EFFECTIVE. I BELIEVE
THAT LEARNING NEW WAYS TO ADD VALUE TO OUR LIVES IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS THAT REQUIRES CONTINUOUS
DEVELOPMENT. I HOPE THAT THESE IDEAS BECOMES AN ACCEPTED NORM. THANK YOU FOR PARTCIPATING AND SHARING
THESE IDEAS.
