Vocabulary• efficient — working or operating quickly and properly in an

organised way

• effective — successful or achieving the results that you want

• industry — the companies and activities involved in the process of producing goods for sale, especially in a factory or special area.

• sustainability — causing little or no damage to the environment and therefore able to continue for a long time

• decompose — become gradually damaged (into small pieces or elements) or worse in quality

What is ‘Cradle to Cradle’ Design?

• A study of design in order to make every product be designed with this further use!

• design a native of nature!

• from eco-efficiency to eco-effectiveness

From Cradle to Grave: original industrial model

• more than 90% of materials extracted to make durable goods become waste immediately — only 5%

• one-way, linear flow of materials through industrial systems

Eco-efficiency?

• Eco-efficiency is calculated by dividing the ‘value’ of a product by its ‘environmental impact’

• The Wuppertal Institute define it as a strategy to reduce the use of materials in the economy in order to reduce undesirable environmental impacts

• It begins with that industry is 100% bad

‘Less Bad’ is No Good

• ‘Small is Beautiful’?

• ‘Downcycle’ — the inevitable problem of recycle

• Most of products are never designed with this further use

So, what is eco-effectiveness?

• These are examples:

• 1. buildings produce more energy than they consume

• 2. factories that produce effluents that are drinking water

• 3. when an useful life of products is over, they can entirely decompose and back to nature, or return to industrial cycles to supply high quality raw materials for new products

5 steps process

Step 1: Free of known culprits

Step 2: Personal preferences

Step 3: The passive positive list

Step 4: The active positive list

Step 5: Reinvention

Question1. Do you believe that people have to sacrifice their

life quality, such as economy and delights, to make a sustainable life?

2. Do you support that companies provide ‘a terminable service of product’ instead of ‘a product’ to customer is a remedy of waste issue?

3. Do you have any idea of something around our daily life can be innovated by ‘cradle-to-cradle’ method?
