(Archief) DDW Talks: Sustainable Products

Sustainable Products

Sustainability is a complex topic for users, designers, brands and policymakers alike. Can you scale up production and remain sustainable? How can brands actually make a difference? What can smaller studios learn from bigger companies and vice versa? How can we reduce waste and promote more meaningful object relationships? How can we make frugality cool?
