"Circularity must be embedded throughout our entire consumption system; it is no use using sustainable materials if we then continue to live in a throwaway culture. We must rethink the way we produce, transport, consume and recycle our products, and this is where 3D printing offers an alternative, with on-demand, compact and automated production."
"The project starts and ends with materiality at its core, mirroring the cycles of our natural world. Here, material is not a the genesis of each piece, intrinsically tied to the element it represents."
Sustainable design draws from nature's rhythms, emphasizing the use of recycled and recyclable materials. The Tierra, Mar, y Aire lighting collection by Héctor Serrano exemplifies this by using biodegradable bioplastics, recycled fishing nets, and PETG. Each material informs the design, creating a connection to the elements. Serrano advocates for embedding circularity in consumption systems, highlighting the role of 3D printing in enabling localized production and reducing waste. True sustainability requires a shift in mindset towards convenience and consumption.
