Design for Sustainability

Our group focuses on developing the theory and practice required to design solutions that foster environmental, socio-ethical and economic sustainability in areas ranging from materials and manufacturing to products, services, business models, bottom-up initiatives and socio-technical systems. Our work supports organisations, communities and practitioners in integrating design for sustainability into their activities.
