Our Approach

Products have been designed as if resources are unlimited. The take, bake, make, waste approach has valuable materials, erroneously called waste, landfilled. We need to design products so that these resources loop back into a material cycle. This closed loop approach recognizes natural limits and values materials through the end of their first product life and instead designs products for a Circular Economy.

Founded by award winning designer and sustainability advocate Barent Roth, Anthopocene.Design seeks to avoid contributing to these problems by instead designing for a circular economy in which all materials are either recycled back into functional products or composted to retain their valuable nutrients.
