IDSA NYC: There Are No Sustainable Materials

May 13, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join IDSA.NYC, Hyloh and The Circular Economy Network for, “There are no Sustainable Materials” a panel discussion on achieving real sustainability through design, material choices and circular economy principals.

As the fragile state of our planet is brought into ever-sharper focus, the notion of sustainability must move away from being a buzzword-filled trend toward urgent and actionable changes. As designers and brands struggle to heed the call to change, our efforts are often misguided by the myths and marketing of so-called “sustainable materials”. The truth is: there are no sustainable materials, only sustainable systems.

  • Sarah D’Sylva, Co-Founder @ Hyloh
