Disposable Camera

Throughout the 90s, disposable cameras reached an all time high. The “single-use cameras” were incredibly affordable and convenient. Camera noobies could finally get a glimpse of what it was like to be a shutterbug. The success of the disposable camera was mainly being able to photograph without an expensive camera. This made it very suitable for use by children and for photography in places where the better camera suffers too much, such as the beach. The great success of the disposable camera also caused problems. They are waste after use.
The 197 million disposable cameras sold in 1995 resulted in a worldwide waste of about 100 million batteries, 1,000 tons of paper and an estimated 14,000 tons of plastic. The industry has recognized this from the start. Already in 1991, Kodak started a recycling program.
In the course of time, more and more types of disposable cameras came on the market. There are cameras with and without a flash. Kodak even developed a portrait camera and a telephoto camera. The underwater camera with its watertight housing and the panorama model that Kodak was the first to launch was also successful.

Disposable cameras were launched in the Netherlands with advertisements for the Free Record Shop, Neckermann and Amsterdam Airport Shopping Center, among others.
To stimulate sales to children, various cameras have been released with cartoon characters such as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, the Lion King and Aladdin.
