“Sustainable Design” is a term currently used, but it is not a separate branch of the design, nor is it an optional accessory to the existing design. In this era, all designs should be sustainable – in terms of environmental, economic and social aspects. The concept phase is the most critical, as designers can achieve the greatest change by looking at the problem from different angles.
Consider whether there is a way to make a design or product smaller, lighter, made of less material, and designed to minimize waste.
Clever Little Bag : Puma shoe packaging by Yves Béhar
When YvesBéhar was responsible for designing shoe packaging for Puma, he developed the Clever Little Bag, which abandoned the traditional combination of boxes and lids. It is estimated that it will reduce 8,500 tons of paper, save 20 million megajoules of electricity, reduce 1 million liters of fuel oil, save 1 million liters of water, and 500,000 liters of diesel will save transportation and save 275 tons of plastic. By his design, it reducing waste and carbon dioxide emissions from normal shoe packaging.
As a designer, we need to create easy and cheaper repairable and scalable products, rather than forcing consumers to buy new products again when the product reaches its shelf life.
The design from this company looks like a daily office chair, but the Think® Chair is an amazing 99% recyclable. It was made up to 44% recycled material, it takes only five minutes to disassemble, and damaged parts can be easily replaced with other parts because it is easy to upgrade.
The goal of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development is to improve the principles and values of sustainable development into all aspects of education and learning, thus, promoting a shift in the way people behave. From those research I learned, sustainable design requires the harmonious development of people and the environment, designing products, services and systems that meet the needs of both the present and the sustainable development of future generations. Sustainability is an increasingly important issue for designers and the public that the design serves. This is not only because designers have created or are making a lot of waste, but also because their work is also used to help sustain development and warn themselves and consumers in different ways.
