Decisions regarding materials, manufacturing processes, and design influence not only a product's environmental footprint, but also its longevity, repairability, and reusability. Environmentally conscious users expect durable, low-pollutant, and recyclable products, and it is up to designers to meet these expectations with innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.

In addition to a long-lasting design language, the choice of materials and manufacturing processes, the entire life cycle of a product should also be considered. 80% of a product's environmental impact is defined in the design phase – this means: together we have the power to create real change!
