Sustainable Design

Designers prescribe the use of our limited materials resources with evey product that transpires from their work. With an informed approach to design, based on a sound knowledge of materials from their origins to their disposal as well as manufacturing processes, systems and technologies, a designer can minimise the impact products have on the global community.
