EDC meets the Built Environment Event SummaryInfo EDCW
This document summarizes a workshop between the Ecodesign Centre Wales (EDC) and the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) on designing a "Towards Zero Waste" Wales. Delegates discussed the issues that cause waste in construction, including poor design, operations, and client pressure. They also discussed what is needed to move towards zero waste, including improved design, advice/collaboration, and legislation/direction. Groups presented statements on how construction in Wales can reduce waste through a variety of drivers, enforcement and education, and by allocating responsibility at each stage through legislation and integration. The document concludes by inviting responses on how delegates feel the industry can progress.
EDC response to innovation strategy consultationInfo EDCW
A more innovative Wales would incentivize sustainable products and services, create value through new sustainable business models, and develop lead markets for sustainable products through public procurement. Overcoming barriers like the narrow definition of innovation and lack of coordination will require broadening understanding of innovation, strengthening collaboration, and incentivizing sustainability. The Welsh Government should support stakeholders, learn from evaluations, and incentivize responsible multi-sector collaboration to develop Wales' innovation system and differentiate the country through its strengths in areas like sustainable development.

Cleanstream Carpets operates a carpet tile reuse and recycling service in the UK. They collect used carpet tiles, sort them, and either reuse tiles that are still in good condition or send damaged tiles to be shredded and recycled. This extends the lifespan of carpet tiles and diverts waste from landfill. Cleanstream employs local people and works with social enterprises. They have diverted increasing amounts of carpet tile waste from landfill each year. Their business model provides both environmental and social benefits.
Sustainability affects how and why we design products and services, focusing on people rather than just environmental impact. While sustainability presents complex challenges, companies should embrace complexity and "do something" to further sustainability, but do so responsibly by considering people.

Ecodesign and Sustainable Design Education in WalesInfo EDCW
Slides from the Ecodesign and Sustainable Design Education in Wales event held on the 17th April 2015 in Cardiff. The Ecodesign Centre Wales hosted this event in order to bring together Welsh Higher Education design educators to discuss current practice and future prospects for eco and sustainable design. Here we have shared EDC's presented findings from the peparatory research.
Sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It requires balancing environmental, social, and economic concerns. Sustainable development is important because over a billion people live in poverty or lack clean water, while ecological systems are under stress due to pollution, resource depletion, and species extinction. If everyone consumed resources like people in the UK, we would need three planets to sustain current lifestyles. Sustainable development seeks to address these social and environmental issues through responsible use of natural resources and transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

Regional Design Systems for Sustainable Development (O'Rafferty 2013) - prese...Info EDCW
This document discusses regional design systems for sustainable development. It proposes that governments establish centers of excellence focused on applied research, knowledge exchange, demonstration projects, and teaching resources to promote sustainable design. These centers would take a systems approach to address complex problems like climate change, resource scarcity, and inequality. Rather than relying on traditional market-based or neoclassical economic interventions, the author argues governments need a heuristic focusing device to intervene differently and accept complexity.
The document discusses the complex innovation system for electronic products involving interactions between actors and flows of knowledge, finances, and practices. It notes this system results in environmental impacts and "system failures" from decisions made in different parts of the system. The challenge is determining how and where governments should intervene to correct failures and enable a circular economy.
Edc critical materials briefing june2012 low resInfo EDCW
The document discusses key issues related to critical materials and opportunities for addressing supply risks. It notes that many critical metals are traded in small quantities and production is concentrated in a few countries, creating supply risks. Recycling rates are currently minimal due to factors like product design. However, opportunities exist in improving design for recyclability and resource efficiency, as well as increasing recycling which can be more energy efficient than primary extraction. Addressing critical material supply risks will require actions on both the supply and demand sides.
Research is the systematic investigation of any subject. There are different types of research including fundamental/pure research, applied research, and design research. Research can be descriptive, relational, causal, for decision making, or predictive. Being a good researcher requires being inquisitive, reading extensively, refining skills, and clearly communicating. The general research process involves identifying an opportunity, establishing aims and questions, undertaking literature review, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating findings.
This document discusses the importance of good design and the circular economy. It notes that most products are thrown away within 6 months and that 80% of environmental impacts are locked in at the design stage. Designers can influence how people consume and use products through good design that considers the full lifecycle and recyclability of materials. The circular economy aims to keep resources in use for longer through reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling. Good design criteria include designing for the long life, using non-toxic materials, localizing production and using renewable energy.
The document discusses the importance of design and provides examples from Wales. It examines what design is, why it is important, how designers work, and examples of designing, making, and remaking in Wales. The key points are that design is about understanding people, prototyping ideas, and using imagination to solve problems. Designers follow a structured process that involves understanding needs, observing interactions, testing ideas, and remaking designs to improve them.
Simon O'Rafferty works on several sustainability projects including developing new LCA tools, supporting zero waste policy, and closed loop LED production. His work focuses on ecodesign, interdisciplinary design education, and assessing LCA and C2C frameworks for SMEs. He is developing a sector-specific LCA web tool to help 100 European SMEs conduct streamlined LCAs to support ecodesign decisions and identify high impact materials and processes. The free online tool will provide training, mentoring, and sector-specific data to analyze photovoltaics, smart textiles, and other industries.

The free online tool will provide training, mentoring, and sector-specific data to analyze photovoltaics, smart textiles, and other industries.
The document summarizes a guest webinar on ecodesign given at a summer course on green industry. It discusses how design impacts the environment and society. Ecodesign considers all environmental, social and economic impacts of a product over its full life cycle from material sourcing to disposal. Effective ecodesign requires assessing impacts, selecting strategies to address them, and communicating the environmental benefits. Common ecodesign approaches include rethinking needs, assessing life cycle impacts, selecting strategies, and communicating the brand's sustainability.
This position paper from the Ecodesign Centre discusses links between Wales' proposed Sustainable Development Bill and Innovation Strategy. It argues that ecodesign can play a key role by helping businesses reduce costs and risks from rising resource prices while driving innovation. The paper outlines several strategic levers where ecodesign links the two policies, such as addressing energy demand and facilitating sustainable consumption. It recommends actions for the Welsh government, including leveraging procurement to create sustainable markets and aligning R&D funding to support sustainable products and services.
This document outlines the key steps and aspects of life cycle assessment (LCA) including defining the goal and scope, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation. It discusses impact categories like climate change, ozone depletion, and resource depletion. The document also mentions how LCA can help with innovation, decision making, communication, management, and be used by industry, government, and non-governmental organizations.
This document discusses the environmental threat posed by ozone depleting substances (ODS) in plastic foam insulation used in buildings over the last 45 years. As these buildings reach the end of their lifespan and the foam insulation enters the waste stream, it poses problems for damage to the ozone layer and global warming. The document argues that Wales can lead the way in addressing this issue through better enforcement of legislation and developing commercial opportunities in foam recycling. Doing so would deliver environmental benefits like reducing global warming and ozone depletion, while also creating new green jobs.
Dow Corning is a global leader in silicone and high purity silicon. It has over 7,000 products and services and approximately 11,500 employees. The company is financially strong with $6 billion in sales in 2010. Dow Corning is committed to product stewardship through applying a life cycle approach and management system to understand, manage and communicate the impacts of its chemical products on human health and the environment. It aims to make health, safety and environmental protection integral to designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, using, recycling and disposing of its products.
The document discusses Constructing Excellence in Wales, an organization established in 2002 to promote sustainable construction practices. It focuses on construction and demolition waste reduction programs, including policy activities, industry regulations, waste diversion initiatives, and a consultation on a proposed Construction and Demolition Waste Sector Plan.
The Ecological Built Environment Research and Enterprise (EBERE) Group conducts both theoretical and applied research related to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from buildings. Theoretical research involves posing hypotheses, while applied research involves testing those hypotheses with real-world applications. The Low Carbon Built Environment Project brings together academics and industry to reduce emissions from the built environment through six work packages, including post-occupancy evaluations of low-carbon buildings and monitoring the thermal performance of retrofitted homes. The Doctor of Ecological Building Practices professional doctorate allows students to explore, develop, test, and evaluate practices related to environmental issues in the built environment.

Ecodesign is an approach to design that considers the materials, processes, and practices of a company to identify layers of waste and value. It addresses all life cycle impacts by designing out the biggest impacts. Ecodesign isn't just about building more efficiently but finding new ways to achieve the same or higher functionality using less resource-intensive materials, new technologies, and design approaches. Companies that have implemented ecodesign have avoided $433 million in waste costs, diverted over 100,000 tons from landfills, and use renewable energy at 8 of 9 plants.
This document discusses the need for ecodesign and sustainability. It notes that 98% of products are thrown away within 6 months and that waste is a social crime. It highlights how valuable resources are wasted and that society overconsumes. The document emphasizes that 80% of environmental impacts can be determined at the design stage and that ecodesign requires life cycle thinking from production to disposal. It calls for moving away from waste and consumption towards using resources, transforming rather than destroying, and thinking systemically about the true costs of products and services.
Simon O'Rafferty is an expert in ecodesign who is currently working on several sustainability projects including developing new life cycle assessment tools, supporting zero waste policy, and creating a sustainability network for designers. Ecodesign is an approach that considers the materials, processes, and practices of companies to identify inefficiencies and redesign products to eliminate waste and maximize value. Ecodesign analyzes all life cycle impacts and aims to design out the biggest impacts, which are responsible for up to 80% of a product's environmental impact.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Waste – this is the starting point of my work and what forced me to confront my role as a designer.
People and skills, ambition, wisdom,
25 spaces – Unltd funding
Antiform early days
Antiform now website – wholesale etc
Service design and consultancy
sustainRCA – Hana Mitsui
How I used opportunities….outside curriculum- pic of workshop
Made it ‘live’
Real protoyping and experimentation,
User centred design
Not JUST a fashion designer- all the other skills, inc volunteer management, communication, event planning, etc
What opportunities now?
Extra –ciricular reading – psychology, sociology, economics, science, etc
Inter-disciplinary learning opportunities – working with peers in other fields
Circular economy projects might need industry partners – internship programs and intermediary organisation eg EMF, Hay Fesitval, Resource + networking!!!!
Social innovation projects might need user testing or community partners – look for local volunteering opportunities.
Test trading opportunities, and competitions.
Act local – don’t have the budget to travel so what insights do you have into the local
A transformational shift of thinking has started but to accelerate perhaps;
Changes to the way curriculum is delivered will support some of the above eg acrossRCA, for multidisciplinarity, and new MA programs aiming to break out of silo teaching.
Sustainability needs to become embedded. - Are we asking the right questions and setting the right briefs
Development of more external teaching support eg EMF DIF Festival
