Sustainable Design
Sustainable green design is central to Product Partners design and development philosophy. From the renovated Victorian warehouse we operate within, to the environmentally friendly cars we drive and to the consistency and dedication of our design personnel, green product design is engrained within our business culture.
Our sustainable design process is 'cradle to grave'. All projects are different and will require different green design strategies, but the earlier the strategy can be integrated into the green product design plan, the greater the opportunity for reducing environmental impact, increased potential for cost reduction and therefore resulting in larger profits.
Product Partners strategies include:
- A sustainable design team
- Green design process for the complete product lifecycle
- Sustainable materials selection
- Design for
- long life
- modularity
- repair and easy maintenance
- reuse
- disassembly and recycling
Like the natural world, our sustainable design process comes naturally to our green design team. We conscientiously continue to explore new sustainable materials and design processes evaluating how services, materials and products can be taken from creation to the point of recycling with minimum impact on the future environment.
All our products are designed for recycling, although all at Product Partners strongly believe it would be much better if we all used sustainable materials and designed products that we loved, needed and wanted to keep.
