ESD & Offices
8.11.2007| ”If we can design and build furniture which not only lasts twice as long, but users will still want to sit on it in 10 years’ time because of its timeless quality and looks, then we will have halved the environmental impact of our office furniture.
Upfront cost of this process may be substantial but this investment will be cheaper in the long run. Another option is produce take-back, where manufacturers offer to take back products at the end of their initial life, for re-manufacturing or reuse.’ Ralph Horne, Director, Centre for Design at RMIT University. |
