Join us for a look at how we're heading for a zero waste future
Today, the sad truth is most products go to landfill. Fast fashion dominates the high street and shops are filled with disposable goods. But, change is in the air.
Our recent Slow Survey showed 92% of people are concerned by the state of the environment – and there's growing demand for eco-friendly goods and services.
In collaboration with Matter, a new platform for material research, we've gathered an exciting group of upcoming designers, experimenting with innovate, sustainable production methods, to ask: What the role of the designer is today? Why a new generation is embracing Slow Design? What role a zero waste approach can play?
