«Sustainable development is development
that meets the needs of the present
without compromising
the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs»

[Brundtland report, 1987]

This definition highlights an ethical instance, we can
no longer ignore, even though we work in
communication design where involvement
in environmental awareness may seem marginal.

Frush is well-aware of this responsibility and avoids
considering it as a marketing opportunity connected
to a fad. We believe in this challenge for the future,
in our private life as in our work.

So we set up a new complex and comprehensive design
approach
, life-cycle design, open to the interaction
of other professionists (eg. philosophers, musicians,
scientists, teachers).

guidelines
1. re-thinking
Consider the whole life cycle design and the environmental footprint of the project.
Durabilityand quality are the main goals.
2. saving energy
Use renewable energy. Reduce its use during design phase and in the connected activities.
3. reducing, re-using, recycling
Reduce waste carefully selecting the most effective medium, format and material. Simplify and avoid frills (eg. in packaging). Give things a new use and when it’s not possible use recycled, certified and eco-friendly materials.
4. staying local
Work with local suppliers, to reduce transport impact. Co-operate with similar minded suppliers.
5. saving money
Find alternative and smart solutions to respond
the client needs. Sustainable design can save money and resources.
6. contaminating ideas
Meet and co-operate with others professionals,
to reach new creative solutions.

7. sharing and supporting
Explain clients, colleagues and suppliers the
sustainable values.
Let the projects tell their sustainable story to involve the end users.
