Tim Mitchel Photography – Waste of the World Research Project

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 consultation

Info 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 Case Study

Info EDCW

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.

What is Sustainable Development?

Info EDCW

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.

Leading Without Seeing: managing distributed teams

Shane Pearlman

The rules are the same. Treat people well. Expect great things from them. Be human. The details though, they make all the difference. Managing the nuances of engagement and productivity with a couple thousand miles between you and your team is both science and art. My name is Shane. I have been running a fully distributed team of 20-40 North American creatives for the last 5 years. Our success has come from a cohesive set of technical and cultural systems: the right people, the right environment and the right tools. * Build the right team: happy, helpful, curious & accountable * The rhythm: offer consistency * Relationships in the void * Use the right tools

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.

Electronic Products - Innovation System

Info EDCW

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 res

Info 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 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.

Design & Circular Economy (TSB keynote)

Info EDCW

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.

Info EDCW

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.

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.

Info EDCW

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.

CIWM TZW Conference_EcodesignCentre_Dec11

Info EDCW

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.
