Sustainable design: is recycling the way forward?

Last September I spent a week wandering around the various events and exhibitions which make up the fantastic London Design Festival (www.londondesignfestival.com). If you live in or near London I’d recommend you check it out this year (between 15-25 September).

Highlights for me were the various exhibitions around Brick Lane, especially the Bombay Sapphire Glass Prize (amazingly beautiful innovative design), and the talks organised by Own-It (www.own-it.org) around Intellectual property and patent issues for creative businesses and the business of recycling design.
