Sustainable highlights on brand level
Product Lifecycle
Design
The Design Phase is a crucial part of determining a product’s sustainable capabilities. We’ve chosen to highlight a few genius steps that enable a sustainable product right from the beginning.
Material & Material Extraction
The materials used for a certain product and how these materials come to life are of crucial importance to the sustainable capabilities we seek in products.
Transportation of Materials
This step relates to the transportation of the raw materials from when they are first obtained (harvested etc.) to the production site. Obviously, the closer to the production site, the better.
Production
Obviously, the production of a certain product has an impact on the overall level of sustainability. Luckily, many manufacturers have now taken steps towards more sustainable production methods.
Packaging
How a brand chooses to package its products will have a significant influence of the carbon impact from packaging and transportation.
Distribution
This step relates to the distribution of products when they have been produced. Obviously, the closer to the brand’s warehouse, the better.
Usage
How you choose to use and take care of a product has a bigger impact than you think. Just think about how much longer a shirt lasts if it has been washed in the right way.
End of life
At this step, there is no way out and we have to find some way of discarding our product. How we discard a product will significantly influence the opportunity of reusing materials used.
