Sustainability is not just environmentalism.
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
As responsible consumers, designers and manufacturers we all have an obligation to consider all aspects of a product’s life cycle, from the raw materials used, to better and more sustainable production methods and all with the goal to reduce waste and pollution.
An economy that is restorative and regenerative by design is said to be circular. Where economic activity builds and rebuilds the overall health of the system and can work effectively at all scales – for big and small businesses, for organisations and individuals, globally and locally.
Its three fundamental principles are:
- Design out waste and pollution
- Keep products and materials in use
- Regenerate natural systems
