Design For Environment
Sustainable product design is important
The world is a finite resource and we can see the irony in being product designers. Itʼs because of this that we take our role as ambassadors of sustainable practice very seriously.
Donʼt know anything about Design For Environment (DFE)? Weʼll educate you. Donʼt believe itʼs important to your customer? Weʼll convince you. Canʼt see an economic solution? Weʼll help you find one.
Weʼve partnered with global consultants to help us assist you with clear, accurate and legitimate information. We can advise on materials, processes, design for waste minimisation and recycling, product stewardship and other environment related design issues.
Living and working as product designers in the environmentally aware coastal community of Byron Bay, Australia has confirmed to us that sustainable product design is important. We want to be able to look our kids in the eye and say weʼre proud of our contribution and we feel strongly enough about it to stand by our convictions.
Talk to us about how you can get the most out of DFE practices.
