Designing a product to be crafted from renewable, reusable, and recyclable materials presents many unique challenges. From sourcing, manufacturing, and shipping, to selling, consuming, and ultimately recycling, every step of a product’s creation must be conducive to a cradle-to-cradle product lifecycle.

 

 

Following the cycle

An important aspect of circularity is that all products, rather than being discarded at the end of their lifecycle, have the potential to be returned to useful raw materials.

 

Materials Matter

At TEAMS, we design for circularity by selecting materials that create long-lasting products and quality user experiences while also having a positive impact on the environment.
 
Understanding renewables and their unique properties inspire a fit-for-purpose range of locally sourced materials – fast-growing jute, pesticide-free hemp and innovative plant-based leather made from agricultural waste.

Eco-conscious Ethos

As consumers become increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable materials, choosing eco-friendly options and responsible manufacturing practices will become more important for brands and businesses.

The commitment to circular design practices for a thoughtful product lifecycle contributes to more than just the environment – it empowers consumers to play a part of living sustainably for their on-the-go lifestyles.
