This set of cards represents a comprehensive collection of sustainable design strategies. The cards are specifically optimised for creative and generative design activities at the front end of the design process.

The cards provide an inspirational but systematic way of considering every stage of a product's life cycle and identifying the most effective strategies to influence its environmental and/or social impact.

The card format allows for flexible and intuitive sorting and prioritisation activities in ideation and development sessions. Ultimately, the cards help designers to:

• challenge their preconceived ideas about sustainability and to consider all the options available;
• understand the principles and practice of sustainable design;
• better interpret a client's brief and present options for the most sustainable design;
• design and redesign products along more sustainable lines.
