The American architect/designer William McDonough and the German Chemist Michael Braungart are changing our idea of production, consumption and waste. “We have to design products in such a way that at the end of their lifecycle they become a material resource.
Either a product must be food for the biosphere and is clean and completely biodegradable or a product is food for the techno sphere (the sphere of all our technical products) and can entirely be made into a new resource material. Let us look at how nature is truly making new products from waste. Actually waste as a concept does not exist in nature“.
