From waste to resource – rethinking samples in design with Swatchbox.
Join us on Thursday 22nd May 2025, 2.45 – 3.45pm, at Design Meets in Design Fields for a panel discussion hosted by Swatchbox which examines how the design industry can tackle the growing challenges of material waste through sampling and disorganised sample libraries. We will explore innovative strategies aimed at giving samples a Second Life.
From rethinking library systems to developing circular solutions, this conversation will highlight practical approaches that empower designers to reduce waste while staying inspired.
Andy Noble, CDUK Managing Director, will be a guest speaker at the Design Meets panel discussion, bringing insights as a market leading supplier of surface materials with examples of how the Vita Nova solution contributes to a circular economy with one avenue being repurposing samples.
