Impact Design Criteria.
Different from sustainable design, Impact Design is about solutions to a design challenge that require measurable impact to be considered a success. Working towards human-centric design, for positive environmental and social outcomes, which includes 4 principles in design innovation.
Materials
Raw materials play a key role in determining the environmental impact for all products. Developing new treatments for materials, including sustainable dyeing methods, and using organic and innovative materials, can dramatically reduce the impact of the entire industry.
Process
Redesigning for the product life cycle through circularity and process design, from recycling, upcycling and recirculation, with the goal of keeping materials and products from ending up in landfills. Circular design is the future of a more sustainable, profitable, efficient industry.
Planet
Taking design inspiration from Nature to reinvest in the planet. Always reducing our use of resources by planting trees, reducing water consumption, using renewable energies, carbon-neutral shipping, and clearing plastics and chemicals from our rivers and oceans.
People
Empowering craftsmanship and cultural respect for local communities through fair pay and working conditions is a beneficial and positive way to elevate our shared humanity. It’s vital to ensure inclusion, diversity, and empowerment of minority groups through contemporary design.
