In this thought-provoking panel discussion, we draw inspiration from the groundbreaking book “Sustainable Materials with Both Eyes Open” by Allwood, Cullen, et al. to explore the critical importance of adopting sustainable practices in the materials industry.

Our panelists will delve into the core principles laid out in the book and their implications for fostering a circular economy, reducing carbon footprints, and minimising waste generation. We will explore the potential of sustainable materials in shaping the design, manufacturing, and consumption processes, enabling us to create more eco-friendly products without compromising on performance and functionality.
