Abstract

A sustainable economy for a growing population must be climate-neutral but also frugal in resource consumption — raw materials, water and physical space. In this context, frugality means applying science and technology to design ‘simplified’ products that minimize the use of resources throughout their entire life cycle. A widespread diffusion of the principle of frugality in the design and redesign of products will help to reduce environmental degradation and safeguard the basic functions of the world’s ecosystems.
