Sustainability: Beware of fake eco-friendly products!

What makes a truly sustainable product? This episode covers design for disassembly, monstrous hybrids, innovative new materials borrowed from nature (like mushrooms!), and faux environmental products. Join us to learn how glues and tapes make recycling more difficult, while 3D printing reduces the need for these fasteners. We invite you to comment below with questions and suggestions on how to make industrial design more sustainable. Find out more about what we do at https://nonfiction.design/.
