Material success means a lot of different things. In this case we’re talking about sustainability. Thank you Monocle for including fuseproject CEO and Founder Yves Béhar in your recent coverage of City Cortex in Lisbon. As an exercise in pushing the performance and application of materials, Yves Béhar partnered with City Cortex City to explore the intersection between contemporary urban contexts and one of nature's most versatile and sustainable raw materials: cork. “Cork is the perfect material to express these qualities as it is both protective by insulating from sound and the cold, as well as soft and natural in ways that people love. A person can pause for a few seconds, and feel the change created by the material and the form.” For the past 20 years, fuseproject have led the use of sustainable materials in the development of products and services that deliver impactful solutions and raise awareness of critical issues. Our work with Herman Miller, The Ocean Cleanup, and TELO Trucks has helped leaders bring new products and services to market that deepen our understanding of sustainability while advancing ESG initiatives.

Join Design for Planet Festival organised by Design Council on Wednesday 6th November! You can join online for free! This year’s theme is design for Planet Positive Business. Showing that design can help businesses prosper whilst also regenerating the planet. This doesn't mean selling the same things made of recycled materials or creating shiny new green products - it means a fundamental redesign of what businesses are for, putting the planet at the heart of their purpose and giving Mother Nature a seat at the table. Businesses can prosper, but prosperity, and consumption, might look a little different in the future. Discover how design: 🌎 can save you money by reducing carbon and reducing waste 🌎 increases commercialisation of sustainable products 🌎 helps you meet your ESG goals and fiduciary responsibilities 🌎 turns waste into value 🌎 can keep you ahead of the market, and create new markets You can register free to follow online: https://lnkd.in/dVbKW98Q Video from last year: https://lnkd.in/d5rWe5aa

🌟 Exciting Challenge Alert! 🌟 Calling all innovators and problem-solvers! How might we help more companies to upcycle their discarded workwear and textiles? VAER, an innovative startup at the intersection of fashion, style, surplus textiles, and circularity, is bringing their challenge to the forefront at Circular Design Camp. This is a golden opportunity for participants to contribute to a company with a big heart and an impactful mission. 💚 👟 “We're diving into Circular Design Camp because we're grappling with specific hurdles in our upcycling collaborations with companies. By injecting fresh perspectives into these challenges, we're confident that we can not only inspire more companies to choose upcycling over incineration but also breathe new life into a larger portion of their discarded textiles. Moving from a linear to a circular model presents intricate challenges, and we're ready to tackle them head-on. It's crucial for young minds to grasp holistic thinking while devising tangible solutions that yield positive environmental impacts in both the short and long term, all while making economic sense for stakeholders. Practical experience is key, which is why Circular Design Camp resonates so deeply with us. We're almost envious of the students getting to participate!” - Lili Dreyer, Founder and CEO, VAER ✨ Wanna help VAER reach their goals? Reserve your spot now!

Join me at London Design Festival’s Material Matters 🌍💡 I’m looking forward to joining the conversation, moderated by Grant Gibson, at Material Matters during the London Design Festival on September 19th at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf. I’ll explore how emerging technologies can help us better trace the life cycle of materials, extending their use and ensuring resources are distributed more equitably. This conversation goes beyond design—it’s about rethinking the relationship between governance design, technology, and sustainability, and what that means for the future of circular economies. It’s a privilege to be in dialogue with forward-thinkers and designers like: 🏺 Rosy Napper, whose work with ReCinder transforms waste into a new kind of ceramic. ♻️ Professor Becky Earley, a circular economy researcher, award-winning sustainable designer, and co-founder of World Circular Textiles Day 2050. 🌱 Kristian Notland Harnes, reimagining sustainable consumption through Minus, of which is the co-founder and CEO. I’m also particularly excited about the panel following mine, which will dive into grown materials like mycelium, hemp, roots, and citrus peel—methods that challenge conventional production and align with my focus on ethical governance and resource justice. Sofia Hagen 💪 If you’re interested in how governance, technology, and design intersect to create more sustainable futures, this is an event you won’t want to miss. 🌿 Let’s rethink what’s possible - and how! https://lnkd.in/eXcPCBGV #LondonDesignFestival #MaterialMatters #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #DesignAndTechnology #blockchain #governance

🌍 Sustainability is a core pillar of DesignTO, and we are proud to collaborate with partners who share our commitment to a greener future. Since 2009, our partner Teknion has taken an innovative approach to reducing waste by mixing scrap paint to coat non-visible, internal components of their products. This initiative has diverted 3,400 kg of waste paint from landfills, a significant step towards sustainability in manufacturing. At DesignTO, we believe that aligning with organizations who prioritize sustainability helps amplify our collective efforts toward a more eco-conscious design industry.
