IDSA STL Wraps Up 2014

Under its Chair Anthony Schmidt, the St. Louis chapter—IDSA STL—enjoyed a very active year with an astounding 14 events! 

Cradle to Cradle Product Design Challenge

Central to Cradle to Cradle® as a design framework is to eliminate the concept of waste — recognizing that all materials are valuable and finite and when designed appropriately can be used in infinite cycles.  Effectively implementing this design principle can have a significant impact on the environment and the economy. The goal of this design challenge is to eliminate the concept of “waste” by designing products with materials that may be perpetually cycled to retain their value as nutrients to fuel growing global economies.
