In short
Good for Environment (G4E?) is a Spanish ecodesign company formed by industrial designers, environmental scientists, ecologists and engineers. Its activities range from research in sustainable practices, the design and conception of products, but also provides services to other players seeking to improve their social and environmental responsibility.
Principles
G4E tries to implement the concept of ecodesign in each stage of a product creation, from the conception to the production stage. In their own product development, they focus on smart materials, waste reduction, energy efficiency, product longevity, and consumer education. Their current collection is limited to less than a handful of considered items that respond to specific needs. "Because we love materials, we take of them", is said on the agency web site.
Notable projects
- Econo: A biomimicry system to reduce the water consumption of plants. The system emulates the Namibia Beetle's stratagem, condensates water coming from the soil through the evaporation mechanism.
- Lappack: A briefcase for laptops made in recycled and molded wood pulp that can be recycled again and again.
