La cucina del futuro arriva da Global Consumer Design Whirlpool.Apparentemente uguale ai modelli tradizionali, Greenkitchen si basa invecesu un intelligente ciclo continuo di acqua e calore: l’acqua pulita che escedal rubinetto viene individuata da sensori posti nello scarico del lavandino,convogliata in uno speciale serbatoio e riutilizzata per innaffiare le piante o per alimentare la lavastoviglie; quest’ultima, a sua volta, sfrutta il caloregenerato dal motore del frigorifero per scaldare l’acqua. In questo modo,tutto ciò che viene espulso da una parte viene filtrato e igienizzato peressere riutilizzato da un’altra, permettendo un risparmio energetico pari al70%. A questo si aggiunge un ulteriore 10%, quando Greenkitchen vieneusata in maniera consapevole e attenta.

42Whirlpool Global Consumer Design brings us the kitchen of the future. Itmay look just like its traditional counterpart, but Greenkitchen is actuallybased on an intelligent continuous cycle of water and heat. Clean tap wateris identified by sensors placed in the sink’s drain, channeled into a specialtank and reused for watering plants or running in the dishwasher; thelatter, in turn, uses the heat generated by the fridge’s motor to heat thewater. Everything that is expelled from one unit therefore gets filtered andsanitized so it can be used by another unit, which translates into energysavings of up to 70%. This amount can even be increased by 10% whenGreenkitchen is used with particular knowledge and care.

Greenkitchen ist ein innovatives Projekt für den nachhaltigen Umgang mitRessourcen, entwickelt von Whirlpool Global Consumer Design. Auf denersten Blick gleicht Greenkitchen herkömmlichen Modellen. Der Unter -schied liegt allerdings in einem zusätzlich eingebauten intelligentenWasser- und Wärmezyklus. Das saubere Wasser, das aus dem Hahn in dieSpüle fließt, wird von Sensoren erkannt und in einen speziellen Tank zurWiederverwendung, beispielsweise für den Geschirrspüler, geleitet. DerGeschirrspüler wiederum nutzt die Wärme, die vom Kühlschrankmotorproduziert wird, um das Wasser zu erhitzen. So wird die Energie, dieinnerhalb eines Gerätes erzeugt wird, an einer anderen Stelle wiederverwendet. Dadurch kann der Energieverbrauch um bis zu 70% reduziertwerden. Bei umweltbewusster und effizienter Benutzung von Greenkitchenkönnen noch weitere 10% eingespart werden.

La cuisine du futur a été pensée chez Whirlpool par l’équipe de GlobalConsumer Design. Apparemment semblable aux cuisines traditionnelles,Greenkitchen fonctionne sur un judicieux cycle continu de l’eau et de lachaleur : l’eau qui sort du robinet est dirigée, grâce à des capteurs situésdans le tuyau d’évacuation, vers un filtre spécial et réutilisée pourl’arrosage ou le lave-vaisselle, qui à son tour utilise l’énergie générée parle moteur du réfrigérateur pour chauffer l’eau. Ainsi, tout ce qui est perdud’un côté est filtré ou désinfecté pour être réutilisé de l’autre, permettantune économie d’énergie d’environ 70%, auxquels s’ajoutent 10% siGreenkitchen est exploitée consciemment et attentivement.

With colored polypropylene bodywork and recycled-steeltrestles, the chairs in the Catifa 46 and Catifa 53 collections byItalian company Arper may look like other chairs, but in fact theyare quite unique. An evaluation of their environmental impacthas been carefully analyzed for every phase of their life cycle,from the choice and treatment of the raw materials to thepackaging and recycling of the final product. The analysis led to the development of a complex calculation procedure that was assigned an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) inaccordance with ISO 14025, which attests to the product’ssustainability at the international level. Its simple, essential formhides the precise work that went into improving Catifa’sperformance, ergonomic and otherwise.

Auf den ersten Blick ähnelt dieses Modell anderen Stühlen mitSitzschale aus farbigem Polypropylen und Drehfußgestell ausRecycling-Stahl. Die Catifa-Modelle 46 und 53 der italienischenFirma Arper weisen jedoch einen bemerkenswerten Unterschiedauf. Während ihrer Produktion wurde für jede Lebensphase dieUmweltbelastung untersucht, von der Auswahl der Materialienüber die Materialbehandlung und Verpackung bis hin zurGebrauchsphase und Entsorgung. Diese Analyse führte zurEntwicklung einer komplexen Berechnung, die mit derinternational anerkannten Norm EPD (Enviromental ProductDeclaration), auch bekannt als ISO 14025, ausgezeichnet wurde.Dieses Zertifikat gibt Auskunft über die Umweltverträglichkeit undNachhaltigkeit von Produkten.

Il progetto prevedeva due versioni, una da terra e una da parete; da un unico pezzo di legno dovevano veniretagliati al laser più elementi, con spessori differenti in modo tale dapermetterne la curvatura. Da questa prima idea il designer ha sviluppato il progetto finale in metallo, più leggero e versatile, definendo la suafunzione di appendiabiti. Le due versioni di UPON vengono prodotte in un unico impianto di fabbricazione, con minime variazioni nel processodi lavorazione, riducendo notevolmente gli impatti ambientali.

118Upon FloorCoat racksGarderobenständerPortes-manteaux

Initially German designer Stefan Diez wanted to create a furnishing objectout of wooden netting that could be flexible and multifunctional. Thedesign included two versions, one for the ground and one for the wall.Several parts had to be laser-cut from a single piece of wood, with differentthicknesses to create the curves. Out of this original idea, the designerdeveloped the final project in sheet metal, which is more lightweight andversatile, and defined its function as a coat rack. The two versions of UponFloor are produced in a single manufacturing plant with minimal variationsin the production process, thereby considerably reducing theenvironmental impact.

Die ursprüngliche Idee des deutschen Designers Stefan Diez war dieHerstellung eines Austattungsobjektes bestehend aus einem Holzgitter. Essollte flexibel sein und gleichzeitig verschiedene Funktionen erfüllen. DasProjekt sah zwei Versionen vor: eine Ausführung für die Aufstellung amBoden, während eine zweite für die Wand bestimmt war. Aus einemeinzigen Stück Holz sollten mit dem Laser mehrere Elemente inverschiedenen Dichten ausgeschnitten werden, um eine Biegung desMaterials zu ermöglichen. Aus dieser ersten Idee entwickelte der Designerdas Endprodukt aus Metall. Die Leichtigkeit und Vielseitigkeit des Materialsermöglicht unterschiedliche Verwendungen, wie beispielsweise alsWandgarderobe oder Garderobenständer. Beide Ausführungen von UponFloor werden in einer Produktionsanlage hergestellt, so dass nur minimaleVariationen im Verarbeitungsprozess erfolgen. Dadurch können dieUmweltbelastungen deutlich vermindert werden.

L’idée initiale du designer allemand Stefan Diez était de réaliser un objet dedécoration formé par une treille de bois, qui soit flexible et puisse assumerdes fonctions diverses. Le projet prévoyait deux versions, une sur pied etune murale; les éléments d’épaisseurs différentes devaient être découpésau laser dans une même pièce de bois, afin de dégager des angles arrondis.De cette première idée, le designer a développé un projet final en métal,plus léger et modulable et illustrant sa fonction de porte-manteau. Les deux versions de Upon Floor sont produites dans une seule usine : la chaine subit un minimum de variations et réduit ainsi notablementl’impact de la production sur l’environnement.

Halfway between a rickshaw and an electric bicycle, the CityCruiser ispowered by the driver’s muscle strength, with a supplementary electricmotor for long stretches. Two 12-Volt batteries help it reach a speed ofabout 7 mph without the release of harmful emissions. In addition to thedriver, the vehicle has space for two passengers plus luggage. TheCityCruiser is built with sustainable materials: recyclable polyethylene forthe cab and metal for the chassis. The use of more than one material,however, does not impede its recycling, since it was produced according tothe dictates of design for components. Otherwise cumbersome for itsdimensions (10 x 3.5 x 6 ft), it can thus be easily transported to dealers.

CityCruiser ist eine Kombination aus Rikscha und Elektrorad, der dieMuskelkraft des Fahrers nutzt, die auf längeren Strecken durch zwei 12-Volt-Batterien unterstützt wird. Ohne Abgabe von Emissionen kann so eineGeschwindigkeit von 11 km/h erreicht werden. Außer dem Fahrer bietet derCityCruiser noch zwei weiteren Personen mitsamt ihren Koffern Platz. DieKabine besteht aus Recycling-Polyethylen, während der Rahmen ausrecyceltem Metall gebaut wurde. Die Verwendung von mehreren Materialiensteht einer einfachen Endverwertung nicht im Wege, da das Fahrradtaxigemäß den Grundsätzen des Bauteiledesigns zusammengesetzt wurde. Sowird auch der Transport zu den Verkaufsstellen erleichtert, der sonst aufGrund der Maße (185 x 305 x 110 cm) sehr umständlich wäre.

À mi-chemin entre le rickshaw et le vélo électrique, le CityCruiser exploite laforce musculaire du conducteur, couplée à un moteur électrique sur lestrajets plus longs. Grâce à deux batteries de 12 Volts, on peut atteindre unevitesse de 11 km/h sans aucune émission nocive. En plus du conducteur, cemoyen de transport accueille deux passagers avec bagages. Le CityCruiserest construit avec des matériaux recyclés : le carénage externe est réalisé enpolyéthylène recyclé tandis que le châssis qui le supporte est en métal.L’utilisation de plusieurs matériaux n’empêche pas son recyclage final, car levéhicule est réalisé selon les préceptes du design de composants. Letransport vers les points de vente, peu encombrant par ses dimensions (185 x 305 x 110 cm), est ainsi plus simple.

With the 2008 spring-summer collection, high fashion became themouthpiece of the eco-friendly world. Venezuelan couturier GuillermoMariotto, creative director of Italian fashion house Gattinoni, presented 43 designs on the runway created with natural, biodegradable andrecycled materials. Among the pieces in the collection, Bio-sposa, awedding dress, merits particular attention for its use of PLA fiber, aderivative of cornstarch. The particularly luminous reflections of thegarments created this way and the design, in no way inferior to clothesmade of traditional textiles, make the aesthetic potential of this type ofresource obvious. The message speaks for itself: even the high-fashionworld can actively participate in protecting the environment and callupon its customers to buy mindfully and consciously.

While good design is generally associated with costly furnitureand often extreme forms, this piece of furniture brings designback to its original dictates: aesthetics, functionality and low cost.Foldschool is a line of cardboard furniture for kids that can beassembled at home by simply using cardboard, a paper cutter andglue. Patterns for various objects can be downloaded easily fromthe Internet and kids can personalize their chosen modelsaccording to their wishes, for example by painting them.Foldschool’s sustainability does not end with its material: the do-it-yourself aspect is in fact the great advantage since it avoidsoverproduction, transport and waste.

Üblicherweise wird anspruchsvolles Design mit kostspieligenMöbeln und extravaganten Formen verbunden. Das Aus -stattungsobjekt Foldschool hingegen führt das Design wieder zuseinen Wurzeln zurück: Ästhetik, Funktionalität und geringeKosten. Foldschool ist eine Kollektion von Kartonmöbeln fürKinder, die zu Hause zusammengesetzt werden können. Karton,Cutter und Leim genügen, um die Möbel anzufertigen. DasSchnittmuster für die verschiedenen Objekte kann bequem ausdem Internet heruntergeladen werden. Die Möbel können z. B. durch Bemalen individuell gestaltet werden. Die Zukunfts -fähigkeit von Foldschool liegt aber nicht nur im Material: dieEigenproduktion ist der große Vorteil dieses Objekts, wodurchÜberproduktion, Transport und Materialverschwendungvermieden werden.

296EcoWayNatural take-away packaging Natürliche Take-away-Verpackung Emballage naturel à emporter

Eco Way is take-away food packaging made of banana leaves. Thepatina covering them has a consistency similar to wax, makingthem perfect for holding even hot or greasy food. Since theymaintain their robust features long after being removed from theplant, cutting is all that is required to transform them intopackaging. The package is closed by folding the leaf and securingit with small wooden clasps if needed—i.e. no glue is used. It isopened by tearing the leaf along its natural lines. The realizationof this design, which was presented at the Dining 2015competition organized by Designboom in 2008, could lead to adrastic reduction in the packaging waste that takes up so muchspace in our dump sites.

Eco Way ist eine Verpackung aus Bananenbaumblättern für Take-away-Mahlzeiten. Die obere Schicht der Blätter hat einewachsähnliche Konsistenz. Daher eignen sie sich ideal alsVerpackung für feuchte oder fettige Nahrungsmittel. Außerdembehalten die Bananenbaumblätter auch lange Zeit nachdem sievom Baum abgeschnitten wurden ihre Eigenschaften. DieVerpackung wird durch einfaches Biegen der Blätter oder auch mitkleinen Holznadeln verschlossen, d. h. ohne den Einsatz vonKlebstoff. Zum Öffnen genügt hingegen das Abreißen des Blattesentlang der natürlichen Blattfaser. Das Projekt, das zu einerdrastischen Reduzierung der riesigen Mengen vonVerpackungsabfällen führen könnte, wurde 2008 beim Design-Wettbewerb Dining 2015 von Designboom vorgestellt.

Alternative EnergienEnergiequellen, die eine Alternative zumErdöl bilden und die durch die Nutzung vonnatürlichen erneuerbaren Elementen(Biomasse) oder unerschöpflichen Ele -menten (Wind, Sonne, Wasserstoff, Wasser),die überall vorhanden sind, entstehen.Diese „grünen” oder „sauberen” Energienkönnen aus verschiedenen Quellenstammen: aus der kontrollierten Ver -brennung von Biomasse, der Verwendungvon Windenergieanlagen, Solarzellen oderBrennstoffzellen (fuel cell) zur Wandlungvon chemischer in elektrischer Energie (dieeinfachste Anwendung hierbei ist dieProtonen-Austausch-Membran).

Biologisch abbaubarDieser Begriff entstand im 20. Jahrhundertund beschreibt die Fähigkeit einerchemischen Verbindung, sich in einfacheElemente zu teilen, die wieder in dennatürlichen Zyklus eintreten können. Jenach Fachbereich (Geologie, Physik,Chemie, Biochemie) erhält der Begriff einespezifischere Bedeutung.

Community outreachIst die Einbeziehung von Mitgliedern, dienicht direkt mit einer bestimmtenGemeinschaft (community) verbundensind. In diesem Sinne ist von einer „erwei -terten Gemeinschaft” die Rede. In derKommunikations- und Multimediabranchebezeichnet dieser Begriff die Einbindungneuer Sektoren in eine Gemeinschaft mitdem Ziel, dadurch mehr Glaubwürdigkeit zuerwerben und durch das Austreten auseiner spezifischen Zielgruppe mehrMöglichkeiten zu haben.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)Die Umweltproduktdeklaration entstandauf Basis der europäischen Norm ISO 14000und hat zum Ziel, den Endverbraucher aufobjektive, vergleichbare und glaubwürdigeWeise über die umweltfreundlichen Eigen -

Alternative energyThe use of sources other than oil for theproduction of energy, including renewable,natural elements (biomass) or inexhaustiblefuels (wind, sun, hydrogen and water) thatcan be found anywhere. Alternative energy,also called “green” or “clean,” can be obtainedthrough the controlled combustion ofbiomass and the use of wind vanes,photovoltaic cells or combustion cells (fuelcells) to transform hydrogen (the simplestapplication of which are PEM cells).

BiodegradabilityThis term was first used in the 20th centuryto indicate the ability of a compound toseparate into simple elements and re-enterthe cycle of nature. It takes on more specificmeanings according to the scientificenvironment (geology, physics, chemistryor biochemistry).

Community outreachThis expression covers the involvement ofcomponents that are not directly tied to agiven community and therefore refers tothe wider community. In the world ofcommunications and multimedia, itindicates reaching new sectors of thecommunity, with the objective of acquiringmore credibility and opportunities bybranching out from one specific target.

Eco-compatibilityThis defines how compatible an industrialsystem and its product and processes arewith the environment. A product is definedas eco-compatible when it has a well-established relationship with its context.Such a relationship ensures functionalityand well -being with reduced consumptionof resources and a low level of pollution. Inthis sense, an eco-compatible productpromotes sustainable development inenvironmental, economic and social terms.

Environmental impactThe set of effects on the environmentcaused by an event, action or behavior. Alsounderstood broadly to relate to social andeconomic contexts.

Environmental Product Declaration(EPD)Associated with the European ISO 14000regulation, it informs consumers of thecharacteristics and environmental perfor -mance of a product in an objective,comparable and credible way. To that end,an analysis of the environmental aspectsand the potential impact for the entire lifecycle of the product is carried out (LCA - LifeCycle Assessment). The EPD is voluntaryand can be certified by the companyinternally or by external bodies.

ErgonomicsA scientific discipline that studies theinteraction between human beings and theelements of a given system. Its purpose isto optimize human well-being and productperformance.

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)A copolymer derived from ethylene andvinyl acetate. It is used, for example, inplastic food wrap, toys and for variousproducts in the electrical, medical andfootwear fields.

Expanded polypropylene (EPP)A very hard, elastic polymer resistant torepeated bending. It has greater structuralstability when subjected to heat than othercommon polymers and is impermeable tomost chemical substances. EPP is usedwidely in everything from furniture andtoys to shock absorbers in the automotiveworld.

Acido Polilattico (PLA)Anche chiamato “acido polilattato”, è un po-limero derivato dall’amido. Le sue caratteri-stiche sono intermedie al PET e al polieste-re; il suo valore aggiunto consiste nel fattoche, in presenza di idrolisi (scissione di unasostanza in due o più componenti, per azio-ne dell’acqua) a una temperatura superioreai 60 °C e umidità maggiore del 20%, è bio-degradabile.

BiodegradabilitàÈ un termine nato nel XX secolo e indica lacapacità di un composto di separarsi in ele-menti semplici e rientrare nel ciclo della na-tura. Assume significati più specifici a se-conda degli ambiti scientifici (geologia, fisi-ca, chimica, biochimica).

Cell Polymer ElectrolyteMembrane (PEM)Vedere ENERGIE ALTERNATIVE.

Ciclo di vitaIntero arco di esistenza del prodotto, cheparte dall’estrazione delle materie prime(con le loro varie trasformazioni e relativi tra-sporti), comprende tutte le operazioni di as-semblaggio e finitura che portano al prodot-to finito, pronto per essere immesso sul mer-cato, e prosegue con il periodo di utilizzo. Siconclude con la fase di dismissione, quandoil prodotto sarà destinato a diversi tratta-menti di demolizione o disassemblaggio, inbase alle possibilità di riciclaggio, recupero oriuso dei suoi materiali o di alcune sue parti.

Community outreachSi riferisce al coinvolgimento di componen-ti che non sono direttamente legati ad unadata comunità. Si parla in questo senso dicomunità allargata. In campo comunicativoe multimediale indica il raggiungimento dinuovi settori della comunità, con l’obiettivo

di acquisire più credibilità e di avere più op-portunità uscendo da un target specifico.

Eco-compatibilitàDefinisce la compatibilità dei sistemi indu-striali e dei loro prodotti e processi conl’ambiente. Un prodotto si definisce eco- compatibile quando ha un rapporto benstabilito con il contesto: questo rapportogarantisce funzionalità e benessere con unridotto consumo di risorse e un basso livel-lo di inquinamento. In questo senso un pro-dotto eco-compatibile promuove lo svilup-po sostenibile in termini ambientali, econo-mici e sociali.

Energie alternativeSfruttamento di fonti alternative al petrolioper la produzione di energia, utilizzandoelementi naturali rinnovabili (biomassa) onon esauribili (vento, sole, idrogeno, acqua)e presenti ovunque. L’energia alternativa,detta anche “verde” o “pulita”, si può ottene-re attraverso combustione controllata dibiomassa, impiego di pale eoliche, di cellefotovoltaiche o di celle a combustione (fuellcell) per la trasformazione dell’idrogeno (lapiù semplice applicazione di quest’ultimo èquella delle celle PEM).

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)Nasce dalla normativa europea ISO 14000ed ha lo scopo di informare chi acquistasulle caratteristiche e sulle prestazioni am-bientali di un prodotto in modo oggettivo,confrontabile e credibile. A tal fine si ana-lizzano il ciclo di vita (LCA - Life Cycle Asse-stment), gli aspetti ambientali e gli impattipotenziali lungo tutto il ciclo di vita delprodotto. La EPD (o Dichiarazione Ambien-tale di Prodotto) è volontaria e può esserecertificata internamente all’azienda o daorgani esterni.

Déclaration écologique du produit (DEP)Cette déclaration née de la réglementationeuropéenne ISO 14000 a pour but d’in -former les acheteurs sur les caractéristiqueset les prestations environnementales d’unproduit, de manière objective, comparableet crédible. On analyse à cette fin le cycle devie (LCA – Life Cycle Assestment), lesaspects environnementaux et les impactspotentiels durant le cycle de vie du produit.La DEP (ou Déclaration écologique duproduit) est volontaire et peut être certifiéeen interne par l’entreprise ou par desorganes externes.

Développement durableEn 1987, la Commission Mondiale surl’Environnement et Développement del’ONU (CMED) établit dans le documentappelé « rapport Brundtland » unedéfinition du développement durable,aujourd’hui mondialement reconnue : « Par développement durable, on entendun développement qui répond auxbesoins du présent sans compromettre lacapacité des générations futures derépondre aux leurs. » Le développementdurable est envisagé aujourd’hui entermes environ nementaux, sociaux,économiques et culturels.
