STREET FURNITURE
SUSTAIN AND MAINTAIN
We would all agree that our awareness of sustainability for the future is advancing and as the demand for a greener future arises and awareness grows within industry ; design companies and architects are beginning to consider their products from an impactful stance .
If you are not a sustainable business going forward , will you have a business to sustain in the future ? It is important to continue forward with the momentum that is driving many new processes in street furniture design . Both sustainable products , green material principles and circular recycling economy are key to a successful future on planet earth .
Both landscape architects and street furniture designers must now consider the overall ecological impact of each and every project . Including materials and products used .
Green innovations and creativity are the driving force for future projects . Both aesthetics and materials are key , reused materials , recycled and upcycled materials , plastics , and bio-based composites , FSC certified wood and metal materials are all to be considered .
The circular economy aims to design out waste in order to increase the well being of both humanity and the environment . Many designers across all fields are moving from the traditional TAKE-MAKE-DISPOSE model to one that has a closed loop , where materials , nutrients and data are continuously repurposed .
