• The impact of a person or community on the environment,
expressed as the amount of land required to sustain their use
of natural resources.
• The ecological footprint is a way to measure our human
demand on nature

4. Sustainable consumption
• With sustainable consumption we try to
improve our lifestyle and our consumption to
life more sustainable
• So recourses should be longer available for
our planet
• It contains buying more eco and social-friendly
products to have impact on politics and global
problems

5. Technical Nutrient
• Made of highly stable materials which can be
used again and again, technical nutrients are
designed to be retrieved and reused within
the closed-loop cycle of sustainable
manufacturing.
• Materials like glass and metals are nutrients,
because they can be indefinitely recycled
without them losing their quality.
