Sustainable Products Design

Sustainable design makes most sense through examples, to produce a gallery of inspiring examples of recent, everyday design. These examples begin to explain the breadth and potential of design for sustainability:

1- The Save Food from the Fridge project turns the concept of a fridge upside down and uses traditional and natural processes to preserve food. Fridges are energy-consuming monsters, and the technology itself is quite antiquated – a thermally insulated box with a heat pump into which we indiscriminately throw food. With this sustainable design, vegetables like carrots can be preserved in damp sand as high humidity preserves as well as chilling.

2- Up to 95% of the substance in household cleaning products is water, and disposing of the packaging when the bottle is empty is wasteful. This design from Replenish offers a concentrated recharging cartridge screwed into the bottom, which when inverted fills a chamber with sufficient liquid that can then be topped up with tap water.

3-This modular and multi-functional design offers a ten-piece wardrobe for 365 days. Including a 4-in-1 coat/dress/jacket/skirt, it was created to counter fast-fashion and overconsumption, and features an almost infinite number of outfit variations. Made of natural and recycled materials you can return it after a year for up cycling and receive discounts on the next year's range.
