Details
  • Should you trust labels including 'recycled material', 'bioplastic' or similar? Learn the truth and the details of the concrete environmental benefits associated with them.
  • A drive for greater transparency is happening in product design, through emerging legislation and standards, and consumer demand for more sustainable products and unambiguous marketing.
  • In this book, Daniel Liden tackles the lazy 'greenwashing' terminology we see every day, providing a guide for product designers, manufacturers and consumers wishing to make better and more informed decisions about materials.
  • The book comprises six chapters devoted to material categories - plastics, textiles, metals, ceramics and glass, wood and paper - and a seventh chapter covering emerging sustainable technologies.
  • Each chapter includes interviews with industry experts, as well as photos, diagrams, environmental impact data, general material properties and more. 
  • 24 x 16 cm, 200 pages, softcover
