The building blocks of regenerative fashion for ASN Bank
Imagine emissions, pollution and abuses were restricted, expensive and unpopular. What would the fashion industry look like in such a world?
In this project for ASN Bank and ASN Impact Investors, we propose 50 solutions for a practical fashion utopia.
KOFF envisions a path towards climate positive coffee making
The yearly carbon emissions of your 2 cups of coffee a day can end up being as much as those of a flight from Oslo to Algiers. In this research project, we use the four steps of our Low Carbon Design Tool to reduce those emissions - and open up a path to climate positivity.
Using climate solutions to unlock new options for DHUN’s regenerative community in Jaipur, India.
From carbon-capturing building methods, to the integration of circular economy systems, to designing respectful ecological experiences, Kode21 helped the in-house design team of Dhun uncover hundreds of new value-adding applications of climate solutions in this stunning regenerative land development project.
Climate positive value propositions in the food space for GENERAL MILLS with PROJECT DRAWDOWN
At the request of Project Drawdown, Kode21 held a series of workshops with the General Mills sustainability team to investigate how the full range of climate solutions can lead to emissions reductions, carbon removal and new customer value. The workshops have led to 15 actions being implemented in GMI’s global impact plan.
Climate positive innovations and strategy for PHILIPS HEALTHCARE
Climate positive strategy and emissions reductions can go hand in hand with improvements in healthcare. A workshop with Philips representatives, creatives and a climate solutions expert from Project Drawdown, resulted in over 400 ideas for climate-solutions based value propositions.
Sustainable exhibitions at TROPENMUSEUM in Amsterdam
Together with the team of National Museum van Wereldculturen and Studio Harm Rensink, we used our Low Carbon Design Tool to design the new Plastic Crush exhibition at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam for minimal waste and emissions.
KODE21’s design archives
We weren’t always Climate Designers… but in fact have a rich history of industrial design and UX design for companies such as Philips, Bose, and Frog Design. Today, we continue the tradition of design excellence while integrating circular economy principles and low carbon design methods.
Explaining sustainable solar energy through MIDSUMMER’s impact report
In cooperation with sustainability strategist Helena Loven, Kode21 wrote and designed the impact report for solar panel manufacturer Midsummer - as an ongoing cooperation to move towards ever more sustainable operations.
Masterclass on healthcare and climate solutions for PHILIPS EXPERIENCE DESIGN
The connections between climate change and healthcare are intriguing - and often shocking. If healthcare was a country, it would be the 5th largest polluter on Earth - but it also holds the key to a powerful range of climate solutions.
CULTURAL ENERGY - Explorations of renewable energy as cultural expressions in biodiverse inviting landscapes
Over the years, Kode21 has been exploring how renewable energy can realistically become a valuable and appreciated addition to our landscapes.
CO-FARM gamifies the creation and funding of regenerative farms
Setting up a regenerative farm is a notoriously lengthy and capital-intensive undertaking, where banks and investors are often of little help. Kode21 explored how a farming game can be the digital twin of actual farming activities, crowdsourcing investments ahead of time and connecting the food-lovers with the producers.
Communicating principles of renewable energy through visual storytelling for VATTENFALL
Energy giant Vattenfall came to us looking for a series of explanatory visualisations to help introduce principles of sustainable energy to government and various other stakeholders.
Kode21 chose felt, wood, and paint - to tell a story of sun & wind & sheep & balloons.
Climate positive business models and masterplan for a REGENERATIVE DEMONSTRATION FARM in Otis, Colorado
In rural Colorado, climate change-induced drought and heat, in tandem with extractive farming methods, are rapidly degrading farmland - leading to reduced yields, deteriorated soil health, and decreased biodiversity.
A newly planned demonstration farm aims to show local farmers that there’s another way. Kode21 is helping uncover climate positive farming methods and other new business opportunities for a thriving countryside.
Masterclass on food systems and the importance of creating RESILIENT FOOD NETWORKS
Overcoming NIMBY? There’s an app for that
Land-based windfarms experience growing resistance - with some of the major worries being about noise and shadow flicker.
Our windswitch app, designed in collaboration with Lieven Adriaenssen, gives windfarm’s neighbours an ‘off’ switch for the turbines in their backyard - balancing community income, optimized energy production, and the occasional need for peace and quiet.
