How can designers incorporate sustainability into their projects?

We should prioritize natural materials 😀

We should use natural materialsuch as bamboo, cork, recycled metals etc

I think designers can prioritize reusable and recyclable materials in their projects to minimize waste

This is a great question, I've been designing since 2009. Choose clients that actually have long term needs, in the beginning you can't be picky but once you can stick with companies that care about design.

From the design perspective, thay should take into account the whole lifecycle of the product, prioritizing durability, ease of repair, and reduce waste and material use in the production. Materials preferably should be sourced loccaly and responsibly, as sustainability is not only an environmental issue, but also have an important social component.
