Global Sustainability Solutions provides consultancy and support for organisations looking to integrate sustainable design in product development and sustainable innovation into their long term strategic planning. The aim is to produce places, products and services in a more intelligent way, so that resource consumption is decreased, products last longer and are aligned with the real needs of their users both within and after their intended use.
Objectives of GLOSS sustainable design services:
- Achieving quality of life and happiness for all
- Reducing global ecological footprint
- Poverty eradication (not halving but eliminating)
- Creating sufficiency economies
- Providing equal opportunities for sustainable consumption and production
- Ensuring global commitments by government and other stakeholders are honored.
Principles of GLOSS sustainable design services:
- Low-impact (non toxic, sustainable, recycled) materials,
- Energy efficiency across the product lifecycle,
- Quality and durability,
- Design for reuse and recycling so that products are not simply thrown away,
- Biomimicry (taking inspiration from nature's design solutions),
- Service substitution (moving from personal ownership to the provision of a service),
- Renewability (local source materials and local reuse/recycling).
