We’re growing more and more aware of the increasing environmental problems and the fact that we have to take action to stop pollution taking over planet earth. Fortunately there are increasing initiatives from different disciplines to work together to find solutions to this big problem (see printyour.city or fashionforgood.com). Also in the design world, whether fashion or interior design related, we see good examples of finding ways to make products from recycled material, thus being more eco friendly and sustainable. Take a look at Konstantin Grcic’s fashion collection for clothing brand Aeance, made of 96% recycled, natural or biodegradable materials. Or the carpet tiles made out of recycled polyester by Object Carpet and the remake of garden furniture (designed in 1955 by the late Hanna and Jorgen Ditzel) made from ocean plastic by Copenhagen based company Mater.
