  10. There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a very few of them. Victor Papanek why? sustainability in the business

  11. 70% of families in the UK consider being ‘eco friendly’ either important or very important. Green funeral business is increasing between 25-30% each year (biodegradable coffins to woodland burial grounds) Research from the Post Office in 2007 found that 35% of people in the UK planned an eco-friendly funeral whereas the research just conducted by FMC in 2009 shows that this figure has risen dramatically. 9 out of 10 individuals would consider an environmentally friendly coffin when planning their own funeral Where is the market?

  12. Coffins / caskets (the most visible eco opportunity)* • Urns • Embalming choices and alternatives • Burial / natural burial • Cremation • Carbon neutral funerals • Flowers (growing practices / air freight) • Business impacts (energy, paper, technology, transport) *A symbol of the whole funeral Aspects to consider

  13. 3,000,000 kg 80,000,000 kg 1,500,000 Tonnes 70,000 m2 resource use, land use, toxins (EPA), scale (2 PM)

  14. Is casket manufacturing a wise use of what’s left? resource depletion compared to oil (40 years)

  15. Copper 575% Zinc 537% Nickel 1124% Lead 888% Philadelphia 2,500 Calcutta 20,000 Beijing 24,000

  16. Wood chips / wood flour Glue 250,000 kg PA Plastic Some Halogenated Plastics like PVC (restricted in 275 countries) Metal coatings Nickel listed as ground contaminant and hazardous air pollutant Finishes VOC effect on workers and atmosphere & residue NZ less resource use but more toxins, burn / bury

  17. LCA & other tools, appropriate, budget, inputs, outputs
