Cradle to cradle is a very important term in the world of design. Cradle to cradle means actually that everything goes where it comes from. For example paper that can be recycled or even better the bio accumulates.
Cradle to cradle isn't just a term it is a vision, a vision that every designer should keep in mind while working on projects, because it depends on us we are the one deciding which materials to use. So actually the way the world will look is a little bit in our hands. This year we had environmental studies and I learned that a lot needs to be done to save the world.
If we look in the actuality we could see in the news a while ago that within 5 years Peking would drown in their garbage. So definitely something needs to be done and we can help decrease the garbage piles. Just think which function can I give my product after his economic life time or which materials can I use that maybe in a later stage can be reused.
Scientist keep searching for new materials, so this is why a designer most important hobby needs to be surf on the internet. Surf for new materials, new technologies, etc.
We are young, we are the future we can do something about. Please think about the materials you use in your product.
Here are two very inspiring videos, videos that inspired me.
