The SDGs serve as guidelines with the aim of facilitating concrete action. They integrate the three sustainability dimensions and are formulated to ensure that our future is economically, ecologically, and socially sustainable in the long run.

The idea behind the triple bottom line is that companies do not only measure their profit and loss account but also their ‘people’ and ‘planet’ account.

Sustainability is based on three interconnected pillars, or dimensions: the economic, the social and the environmental (Purvis et al., 2019).

The underlying pattern of resource consumption in a linear economy follows the ‘take - make - dispose of’ pattern.

The main focus of a so-called ‘circular economy’ is to keep things circulating in our economic system rather than disposing of them at some point. The design process for products is focused from the start on better disposal solutions and reuse of the material.

The ‘cradle to cradle’ approach is based on a set of design principles that envision a waste-free economy.
