Summary #4

Design plays a pivotal role in addressing real-world challenges through innovative and effective solutions. "Do Good Design" emphasizes the importance of responsible and ethical design. It calls on designers to consider the social, environmental, and ethical impacts of their work. David Berman argues that design is a powerful tool that can be harnessed for positive change, urging designers to align their efforts with the greater good. It also emphasizes the significance of empathy and human-centered design in creating solutions that truly benefit society.

In the realm of technology, eco-design is a critical concept. It involves considering the environmental impact of a product, service, or system throughout its entire lifecycle, from design to disposal. “The United Nations Environmental Programme Manual on Eco-design” outlines key considerations, including reducing toxic materials, increasing recyclability, reducing energy consumption, and using renewable resources. Eco-design aligns with the principles of a circular economy, aiming to eliminate waste and design products that can be remade using the same or similar materials. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a tool used by designers to assess and balance the environmental impact of a product over its entire lifecycle. It considers various stages, including pre-production, production, distribution, utilization, and disposal, focusing on aspects like pollution, energy consumption, and natural resource usage.

The article from DesCan highlights the importance of ethical principles in design and professional practice. Their code of ethics serves as a guide for conducting design business with honor, emphasizing professionalism and integrity. It discourages speculative (spec) work, where designers submit concepts without guaranteed compensation, and promotes the value of internships in providing real-world exposure. Sustainability is another pillar of their professional practice, promoting design strategies that consider social, cultural, economic, and environmental values.

The YouTube video titled "Life Cycle Assessment: GORE-TEX Footwear" discusses the application of life cycle assessments (LCAs) in evaluating the environmental impact of products. By conducting LCAs on products like hiking boots, the video reveals that raw materials and distribution have the most substantial environmental impact, making durability and longevity crucial for minimizing this impact. The video emphasizes the role of the end user in choosing durable products and using them responsibly, thus reducing the overall environmental impact.

Another YouTube video, "Cradle2Cradle by Reggs," introduces the concept of Cradle to Cradle (C2C) design as a sustainable alternative. C2C design focuses on keeping materials in continuous cycles, using renewable energy sources, and celebrating diversity in product creation. It promotes a vision where waste becomes food, materials are safe and sustainable, and products are designed for quality, recyclability, and biodegradability. C2C design aligns with a broader shift from the traditional "take, make, waste" industrial system to one that seeks to be "100% good" by considering both product functionality and its impact on the environment.

In summary, all of this content highlights the critical role of design in addressing environmental and ethical concerns. Ethical design principles, eco-design, life cycle assessments, and Cradle 2 Cradle design all offer strategies for creating products that are not only functional but also sustainable and socially responsible. They emphasize the importance of longevity, responsible consumer choices, and renewable energy sources in reducing the environmental impact of design and fostering a more sustainable future.

Onder het mom van recycling/cradle2cradle ga ik het proberen -zelf papier maken-! Op de foto zie je mijn oud papier wat overblijft na vele malen printjes testen, bladzijden snijden, kaften maken, facturen van inkoop, en nog veel meer. De kwaliteit van het papier is goed dus zonde om zomaar weg te gooien want hiervan kun je dus heel goed opnieuw papier maken.

Summary (post #7) + speaker questions

"From Cradle to Grave" is a sustainable design practice that considers a product's environmental impact from the beginning of production to when it is being thrown out. In the first video by GORE-TEX they explained their thinking behind the durability of their products, they like to make more durable products so they last longer thus making it so people don't have to throw away as much product; it also reduces carbon emissions and makes it so the company doesn't have to manufacture as many product.

Our second video "Cradle2cradle" tells us about how mass production is depleting the planet of it's resources faster than we realize it. This is due to production without thinking about re-using or recycling. The idea of "cradle to cradle" is supposed to translate from "cradle to food". Cradle to cradle is more than just recycling, it is about ensuring all materials are from/can be turned into continuous cycles. (Example, glass can be recycled an infinite amount of times while plastic can only be recycled a handful of times before it's unusable) C2C also is about using only renewable energy and celebrating diversity. Every material used should be able to go back into the environment, or back into the manufacturing process. C2C is ideally about eliminating all waste.

Reading by David Berman: What you create reflects how you think. David writes a lot about sustainable practices and how to apply them. Buying more reusable/refillable items will be necessary for the future of the planet. We can all do our part by purchasing from environmentally conscious designers/companies, chose products that are designed to last (no disposable!), chose items made from eco-friendly materials, offset any unavoidable carbon footprints for your own projects, etc. Designers' talents should be directed beyond just selling things. We all have a responsibility and a role.

Nine change makers in the Netherlands making fashion more sustainable

The fashion industry is the second biggest polluter on the planet, responsible for around 10% of all global carbon emissions and tarnished by a reputation for sweatshops – but it doesn’t have to be this way. DutchNews.nl shines a light on nine innovators in the Netherlands helping to make the sector more sustainable. Consumers in the Netherlands discard about 210 tons of unwanted clothing and textiles each year, two-thirds of which is incinerated; while the Dutch fashion industry has an annual surplus of around 21.5 million items of unsold clothing, often produced by poorly treated workers and not built to last. Each garment produced has an average carbon footprint of 20kg. Changing practices in the clothing industry is crucial to meeting the country’s emission targets and improving the industry’s human rights record. Here are nine change makers in the Netherlands leading the way. Loop.a life Knitwear brand Loop.a life has abandoned the wasteful model of regularly changing, seasonal collections and focuses instead on creating long-lasting essentials for men and women. The cotton and wool garments are created from recycled knitwear and denim using an entirely circular, closed-loop process. Removing the need to cultivate the raw materials saves around 500 litres of water per sweater for wool and between 5000 and 15,000 litres for cotton. Founded in 2016 by Ellen Mensink, Loop.a life were the first Dutch company to use 100% recycled yarn, most of it sourced in the Netherlands. Similar colours are carefully selected and combined with industrial waste and Eucalyptus wood fibres, which means no dye is needed. Arch & Hook It’s not just textiles that the fashion industry wastes. When garments are transported from factories to stores and hung on branded hangers, the plastic placeholders are discarded, condemning an estimated 85 billion single-use hangers to landfill each year. Since 2015, Amsterdam-based Arch & Hook has sought to change this by producing high-quality hangers made from sustainable materials. Previous collections have included bespoke hangers for clients such as Karen Millen and Harrods made out of FSC® certified wood, and last year, supported by Roland Mouret and the British Fashion Council, the company launched BLUE®, the first ever hanger made of upcycled ocean bound thermoplastic. ‘​At Arch & Hook, we strongly believe that we are in the early stages of a new industrial revolution,’ says CEO and founder Sjoerd Fauser. ‘Cleaning up what humanity has caused is crucial before eliminating plastics entirely.’ Amsterdam-based &Wider Examining the whole chain of production is crucial to making fashion more ethical. Amsterdam-based &Wider has been helping businesses bridge the data gap on working conditions in the clothing industry since 2014 by providing actionable results to drive material improvements in workers’ lives and in the businesses that employ them. Through their online platform, buyers and employers can gather anonymous data direct from workers, and use this information to implement changes in labour practices along the supply chain. ‘The fashion industry cannot work ethically without hearing from workers themselves,’ spokesperson Sesihle Manzini told DutchNews.nl. ‘The design of our system allows us to hear from vulnerable workers: those who we often hear about, but rarely hear from.’ MUD jeans Mud, a natural, endlessly recycled material, inspired the name behind this sustainable jeans company headquartered in Laren. Founded in 2013 by industry-insider Bert van Son, who had seen first-hand the unethical practices in the sector, MUD has taken a different tack by producing garments made from up to 40% recycled materials and coloured with Cradle2Cradle dyes. 95% of the water used is recycled through reverse osmosis, reducing water use to about one third of the industry standard. Clients can rent or buy jeans, repairs are free, and they can get reductions on loans or purchases by cashing in any brand of old jeans with at least 96% cotton content. The Fabricant Thanks to Amsterdam-based digital fashion house The Fabricant, the digital dress is now a fact – and sold last year for $9500. The assertion that the clothes with the least environmental impact are those which do not exist is hard to argue with – even if it requires a total rethinking of how we promote fashion. The Fabricant specialises in 3D fashion design and animation, offering an alternative to physical concepts such as runway shows, sample sizes and photo shoots. The potential to try clothes on our digital selves, or create a digital advertising campaign can only cut carbon costs. United Wardrobe Founded in 2014 by three students from Wageningen with a mission to make second-hand clothing the buyer’s default, this online marketplace has over 4 million subscribers. From its headquarters in Utrecht, United Wardrobe has now opened its doors to France, Germany and Belgium, allowing users to buy and sell everything from designer shoes to onesies for newborns. ‘People are way more conscious than six years ago,’ co-founder Thijs Verheul told DutchNews.nl. ‘We have already people of age 12 selling and buying secondhand clothes, not because it is cheap for them, but really because they love the sustainable factor.’ Renoon ‘I was so fed up with opening dozens of windows in my browser to find sustainable alternatives that matched my style,’ says Iris Skrami, who co-founded Renoon to fill a gap in the market for a curated one-stop online shop for eco-minded style seekers. The app and website, which launched in 2019, feature new and pre-owned items with emerging brands such as Fisch and PANGAIA listed alongside established designers such as Stella McCartney and Filippa K. ‘There are so many brands and products already in the market that we should have easier access to,’ says Skrami. Fast Feet Grinded Fast Feet Grinded are urban miners, seeking out wasted resources that gain new value when repurposed. In this case it’s our discarded trainers. Globally, an estimated 12 billion pairs of trainers are produced each year, of which at least 90% will end up in landfill. The Limburg-based company employs workers with a distance from the labour market to upcycle rubber, foam and fibre from unwanted trainers to make spongy surfaces for playgrounds, athletics tracks and sports fields – or materials for new trainers. This contribution to a more circular economy in sportswear has attracted partnerships with brands such as Decathlon, ASICS and Intersport. RE LOVE FASHION by RE LOVE Foundation Three-year-old creative agency RE LOVE FASHION is an anomaly in the sector: its mission is to reduce consumption. Fronted by the striking blue-haired Antoinette van den Berg, a trend-forecaster and stylist known in fashion circles as the Lady in Blu, the Amsterdam agency is forging a new path in a polluting industry by promoting what she describes as ‘joyful alternatives to enjoy fashion: reuse, retouch, restyle, repair and repeat’. ‘If we really want to reduce the pollution of the fashion industry, the most effective solution is to consume fewer new clothes,’ she told DutchNews.nl. ‘How nice is it to wear something that you know didn’t pollute?’ Source Read the full article

Mansartis Paris: Place Vendôme Interior

20 Oct 2020

Mansartis Place Vendôme Paris Interior Design

Design: Fern·, deardesign studio

Location: Paris, France

Barcelona, 2020 – From Paris to Barcelona, designers join forces to create a high-end eco-responsible workspace to drive the change · Fern·, the new eco-design brand specialized on sustainable projects of deardesign studio reveals Mansartis project in Paris, Place Vendôme. It is a high-end eco-responsible workspace distributed in 300 m2 and designed with upcycled and recycled materials.

· The new Mansartis project illustrates the social demand for sustainable solutions while offering healthy environments for companies and their employees.

· Sustainable workplace solutions require an eco-design process to create social, environmental, economic impacts. Mansartis project exemplifies this dual need by providing a high-end project with 70% of materials deemed eco-responsible. The Mansartis workspace proves that eco-design can become the new norm.

Approach to Eco-design

Research and development process for the Mansartis project began with natural landscape explorations throughout Provence and Catalonia. While seeking inspiration from the land and local craftsmanship, materials to upcycle or recycle were searched in new and innovative ways. Journeys took the team from quarries to landfills to coastlines in search of materials that could take on a second life.

Through this project, eco-design tools were implemented. From creating design and production teams and partnering with material recovery entities, a strict checklist was used to ensure the best eco-design outcome.

Specifications of the Mansartis Project at Place Vendôme

Wellness

To ensure employee wellness, the creative team designed the office space as a blend of open space and private space. Fostering collaboration in brightly illuminated areas adds to wellness, as do ergonomic furniture and healthy-construction materials.

Upcycling & Recycling

The Mansartis project has upcycled and recycled materials at its heart because the furniture were designed with recovered steel and oak, Cradle2Cradle MDF, and recycled plastic. The oak was upcycled from old SNCF train floors and all working surfaces of the tables are derived from post-industrial plastic waste. Two of the designs — the AU Box and FD Desk — act to blend seamlessly with oak and drywall plenum frames lining the wall. The interior design was fitted with original FSC sourced oak parquet, recycled carpets.

High-end Finishes

The designers team worked with the expertise of craftsmen to produce office furniture and spaces with high-end finishes. Although the Mansartis project used recovered & recycled materials, the results are anything but raw or common. Each part of the design draws out restrained simplicity and innovative mobility. Along with maid-to-measure furniture, Cradle2Cradle and EU eco-certified materials were incorporated to bring the seating, flooring, textiles and accessories in alignment with eco-design principles of the project.

Results

This project saw 70% of its materials come from upcycled and recycled sources. Benefits to employees can include flexible work spaces, functional environments, natural lighting, healthy-construction materials, and a serene colour scheme to encourage innovative thought.

For employees, stakeholders, and companies, eco-design workplace solutions can:

· Minimize environmental impact by upcycling and recycling materials to reduce waste, pollution, and landscape degradation.

· Optimize social impacts by disseminating the importance of eco-responsibility to all company stakeholders and by providing for the health and wellness of employees.

· Drive economic benefits by improving employee loyalty and commitment and by increasing productivity while at the office.

Sustainability as a Necessity

Sustainable development is a business necessity and an innovative eco-design process allows to address it.

In addition, eco-designed projects can be a driving force for the integration of eco-responsible practices, but also a solution that permits to answer company’s employees and customers expectations with regard to its CSR commitments.

By offering eco-responsible workplace solutions, companies will be better placed to strengthen employee commitment and to attract new talents.

Fern· firmly believes in a collective action for creating sustainable spaces, and invites businesses, individuals, and investors to work together to achieve an eco-positive future.

Their commitment to zero-impact has never been stronger, and they continue promoting this new paradigm of sustainability.

The objective of the two companies is to make eco-design the new norm and to enlarge a community of work teams that share this same vision.

In order to achieve this purpose, Fern is merging with deardesign studio to combine complementary expertise and allow the team to expand and to improve the eco-design process but also to support clients in the development of sustainable strategy.

Fern·

Fern· began in 2018 under the leadership of Cécile Imbert, with a goal to address the lack of sustainability in work environment designs. Fern seeks to redesign workspace that moves away from wasteful new materials and toward a closed-loop system with upcycled and recycled materials.

Cradle 2 Cradle approach.

Incorporating cradle2cradle methods within design construction and sourcing will not only maintain sustainable benefits but might also show signs of achieving a more affordable solution. 

If modular components of the deign had a ‘second life’ opportunity like a second hand market where inhabitants could trade unwanted parts of their home with others. This would show a decrease in prices for modules as well as help produce a cooperative neighbourly approach.

Standardised mass production and pre fabrication will still be needed to act as the driving force of the developments  for these types of homes.

No additional environmental resources required for raw material.

No chemicals on the Cradle2cradle list of banned substances used in production.

Closed loop production – residual leaf biomass is used as natural fertilizer/biofuel.

Non-woven mesh is biodegradable. LEATHER & SYNTHETIC ALTERNATIVES: Heavy use of resources including land, water, food and fuel. Toxic chemicals used in tanning and production have detrimental impact on health and environment. High waste mass from tanning process. Synthetic materials take many years to degrade, releasing toxins.
