How often have you seen a label on a product proclaiming it to be made from 'recycled material', 'bioplastic' or similar, without giving any detail of the concrete environmental benefits? What do these terms really mean? A drive for greater transparency and demonstrable environmental benefits is happening in product design, through emerging legislation and standards, and not least consumer demand for more sustainable products and unambiguous marketing. In Better Things: Materials for Sustainable Product Design, product designer Daniel Liden seeks to tackle the lazy 'greenwashing' terminology we see every day and answer these questions, providing a guide for product designers, manufacturers and consumers wishing to make better and more informed decisions about the materials they choose.Chapters are devoted to the following materials: plastics, metals, ceramics, wood, paper and textiles. Each chapter will include an interview with an industry expert, as well as photos, diagrams and data.
