Description

Products That Flow is an unusual book about business and design, as it focuses on fast-moving consumer goods—products that are not meant to last and can be quite damaging to the environment. It concerns food, packaging, disposables, fashion, and cheap gifts and gadgets. This gloriously illustrated book offers a range of business opportunities and design strategies to deal with these products in a more sustainable way. It goes beyond the point where design and entrepreneurship tend to come to a halt.

Products That Flow offers insight into the short lives of different products with quickly dropping value. A wide range of practical examples point the way to managing the flows that often are out of control. It is a field of interest shared by many, and for that reason, is destined to turn into fertile soil for improvement.

Products That Flow will change the way we deal with waste, either preventing it from leaving the circle of utility or rendering it harmless.
