demi is a web-resource bringing together wide ranging information on design for sustainability.

It was developed in response to the growing realisation that design activities have a major (negative) impact on society and the environment. For example, 90% of products' environmental impact is known to be determined in the earliest stages of design.

We believe that designers can make things better as well as worse. And for a much needed sustainability revolution to occur, information and inspiration is required... demi is a good starting point for both of these.

To help you work with demi, we've clustered the information into six sectors:

demi principles
design for sustainability
environmental issues
Gallery
materials and products
sustainability concepts

The way we think about demi is as an information landscape with lots of possible routes to travel. We've developed a map to help you find your way around this landscape. It's a graphical representation of the information in demi at a particular point in your journey, a bit like a signpost. We suggest that you use this map along with the free search, keywords and external links to experience demi's full variety and richness of information.
