Cradle to Cradle:
The Role of Design Thinking and Product Design in Circularity
What's in the Ebook?
Allow us to put a little bugbear to bed; there's been a notion that being sustainable and caring about the life cycle of products and the environment, in general, doesn't make business sense.
WRONG!
Think again; for a modern business, waste doesn't just negatively impact a company from a reputational aspect but also in the all-important margin column.
Luckily, planet earth itself offers a way forward in the form of sustainable circular business practices inspired by the very environment and nature in which we live.
Through the inclusion of circular processes and, with a little help from our old friend's Design Thinking and Product Design, companies can attain a higher sustainability grade.
This not only brings a breath of fresh air to products and services but also into the overall way a company is seen.
So, indulge a little of your time in reading our latest Ebook, and see how sustainable, non-linear practices can inspire your company into positive business transformation.
