Yetthe amount of material flowing through the economy has more than tripled. Theimpact of %u201cthrow away%u201d culture on the planet and societies is clear: it%u2019sdestructive. We are living in a time of rampant pollution and waste, resourcescarcity, biodiversity loss and warming global temperatures: all of which arelinked in some way to our rising levels of consumption.

It is innovation commensurate with the needs to be met. 1173.2 Innovations and Design Thinking
