 LOT OF BAD DESIGN

Around the world, landfills are growing by some 3.5 million tonnes of garbage every day. Every minute, the equivalent of a truckload of plastic enters the sea. Meanwhile, the same amount of clothing — much of it still good-as-new — is thrown out every second. Considering that waste is no accident, that’s a lot of bad design.

So much bad design, that we had to ask: have we all been bad designers? Knowing the creative industries’ track record of making things desirable one day, and disposable the next, the answer was glaring. Indeed, we have become a huge part of the problem.
