Network with like-minded individuals and experts in the field. Whether you're a designer, student, or simply passionate about sustainability, this event is for you! Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore new approaches towards a more sustainable future.

For Melbourne Design Week 2024, Sustainability Victoria is inviting a panel of designers and innovators to discuss the life cycle of products, the materials we use, and what we could be doing to change end of life and replacement practices.

In our session hear Elizabeth Chamberlain (iFixit), John Gertsakis (Product Stewardship Centre of Excellent) and Sarah D’Sylva (Hyloh), talk about how we can change our current system to adapt to less material use, through clever and considerate design, using the right materials.

Join us together with Regen Melbourne to discuss Australia’s repair and reconstruct future.
