"The true value of Sustainable Minds is it’s ability to affect critical design decisions, from assembly details and materials selection through to manufacturing and distribution – providing opportunities for improved environmental impact throughout the entire design process."
James Rudolph
Industrial Design, Farm

Throughout Farm’s product development process, concepts are evaluated for their usability, aesthetics, cost and manufacturability. Sustainable Minds LCA enables us to easily ‘prototype’ a concept’s life cycle impact and integrate environmental performance into our evaluation criteria.

As an experienced medical device development consultancy, we know that aesthetics, usability, cost and manufacturability are not mutually exclusive, and neither is design for environment. We’ve added Sustainable Minds LCA to our toolbox to provide Farm’s development teams with the information and inspiration necessary to align the elements of a successful product.

Farm used previous client projects to learn Sustainable Mind’s LCA software. While the results revealed several environmental shortcomings, we gained valuable insights for future design decisions.
