From carbon footprint to material DNA: our Ce.lunch deep-dive


Sharing knowledge and learning from each other - that's what our biweekly CE lunches are all about. This week we had the pleasure of welcoming John Haenen of Interface, who took us through a fascinating story about environmental impact and sustainable materials.


The highlight? An in-depth look into the world of EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration). This environmental product declaration is actually a product's DNA passport, mapping its complete environmental impact. From cradle to grave, everything is measured:


CO2 emissions

Resource use

Energy and water consumption

Waste production

Impact on biodiversity


The story of how producers manage to make products with a negative carbon footprint was particularly inspiring. It proves that sustainable business is not only possible, but can also be successful.


We look back on a valuable session that brings us another step closer to more conscious and sustainable design.


Special thanks to John Haenen for sharing his expertise!
