Design the world of tomorrow

We believe that in order for the world to remain economically viable, it must, above all, be liveable.
Hence, for us, the designer’s role becomes one of genuinely creating new beginnings within the current linear economy and the promotion and evolution of a circular economy.

Eco-conception within design involves imagining new beginnings, producing sequences of new
possibilities in order to better define new perspectives, promote leaner, better designed and
resource-efficient solutions.

— mission

Eco-conception at the service of design for maximum impact.

Within a linear economy, products created are destined to be discarded, they generate unmanageable waste, and is contradictory to life within nature which recycles the waste of some to become a resource for others.

The designer’s mission, as we perceive it, must consist of re-imaging the pathways right from the moment of conception to create optimum conditions for reuse, recycling, while limiting drawing upon natural resources.

Optimising our resources enables long term and multiple solutions, the regeneration of ecosystems, with an approach of genuine sustainable development, all of which are essential to maintaining life on our planet.

Low-tech

Eco-design brings so called ‘simple and proved techniques’ up todays demands.

The power of the plant world

Nature’s creativity has remained unequalled for millennia, the plant world is an immense inspiration for and source of alternative solutions.

Knowing how to be canny

Freeing ourselves from petroleum derivatives is a top priority in our fight against the effects of climate change.

— Sustainable development objectives

Fertile’s climate strategy

Fertile is moving towards it’s objective of carbon neutrality via it’s climate action plan.
We calculate our carbon footprint, action emissions reduction wherever possible, and maintain a 100% carbon absorption approach for so-called ‘incompressible’, or unavoidable, activities.
Each of our projects is created keeping in mind the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to transform our world.
These goal recognise that ending poverty must go hand in hand with strategies that develop economic growth, meet a range of social needs including education, health, social protection and employment opportunities while addressing environmental protection and climate change.
