·内容简介——

你有多少次看到产品上的标签宣称它是由“回收材料”“生物塑料”或类似材料制成的，而没有提供任何具体的环境效益细节?这些术语的真正含义是什么?通过新的立法和标准，以及消费者对更可持续的产品和明确的营销的需求，在产品设计方面正在推动更大的透明度和明显的环境效益。在《更好的东西:可持续产品设计的材料》一书中，Daniel Liden试图解决我们每天都看到的懒惰的“绿色清洗”术语，并回答这些问题，为希望在材料方面做出更好、更明智决策的产品设计师、制造商和消费者提供指导。这本书包括六章专门介绍材料类别-塑料，纺织品，金属，陶瓷和玻璃，木材和纸张-第七章涵盖新兴的可持续技术。每一章都包括对行业专家的采访，以及照片、图表、环境影响数据、一般材料特性等。

How often have you seen a label on a product proclaiming it to be made from 'recycled material', 'bioplastic' or similar, without it giving any details of the concrete environmental benefits? What do these terms really mean? A drive for greater transparency and demonstrable environmental benefits is happening in product design, through emerging legislation and standards, and consumer demand for more sustainable products and unambiguous marketing. In Better Things: Materials for Sustainable Product Design, Daniel Liden seeks to tackle the lazy 'greenwashing' terminology we see every day and answer these questions, providing a guide for product designers, manufacturers and consumers wishing to make better and more informed decisions about materials. The book comprises six chapters devoted to material categories - plastics, textiles, metals, ceramics and glass, wood and paper - and a seventh chapter covering emerging sustainable technologies. Each chapter includes interviews with industry experts, as well as photos, diagrams, environmental impact data, general material properties and more.
