With an increasing emphasis on companies to improve and prove their carbon output it is becoming more important for there to be education supporting this.
All aspects of design should consider a sustainable element to them. But translating this to designing sustainably and transparently in industry can be a complicated ballpark.
We use a circular knowledge practice, taking industry knowledge and passing it down to future industry leaders. We look at not just the design process, but how this works in practice and what happens afterward using a circular design standard that is industry-focused, industry-led, and industry-assessed.
This guide acts as a tool to support designers, architects, manufacturers and suppliers on the process of how to design and manufacture products in a way that considers sustainability from the beginning through use and end of life.
