Vision

RECOVERY, GROWTH & RENEWAL OF SYSTEMS IN WHICH WE FOCUS ON PEOPLE & PLANET

The future of sustainability lies in regeneration; restoring ecosystems, rebalancing our climate, and building economies that thrive, while allowing people and the planet to thrive, too.

OUR PURPOSE OF INNOVATION IS REGENERATION

Activities

Technology visualization

Regeneration Design assists scientists and companies with clarifying their technology, innovation or idea by design, visualization, storytelling and storydoing so the innovation will faster find its way to the market. Making science visible & understandable.

Circular value chain

The ‘breakthrough innovations’ often founded at the front- and backside in the chain, but how do you create demand by consumers? Overview & communication are necessary: develop value chains and try to trigger the requesting parties.

Bio Design

From local organic waste streams & renewable feedstock to biomaterials to product design. Seeing the possibilities & design creative applications in commission and in-house. For more information take a look on www.bio-design.nl (Dutch).

Customer segmentation

To design a Circular Economy, Regeneration Design is active in different client fields. We are ‘the voice of the consumer’ so we approach Circular Economy from out of this viewing point.

We use Design Thinking & Systems Thinking to develop new value chains.

PRODUCT DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT BY

Material Driven Design

FROM TEST-CASE TO SHOW-CASE TO BUSINESS-CASE

In a Circular & Biobased Economy we have to re-use and recycle local (organic) waste streams. Material Driven Design is not only about designing functional products. First discover the specific properties of the circular material. What can be the application? Can we change something in the recycling-process to reach the desired properties?

Regeneration Design aims to make local products with a value, identity and story. Want to know more about Material Driven Design and Circular Material Consultancy?

CIRCULAR & BIOBASED DESIGN

Why is it so hard to realise the transition to a Circular Economy? Circular feedstocks are not available in large amount yet, so we have to start from a local ecosystem.

Regeneration Design brings the manufacturing industry, startups, municipalities and consumers closer together. Technically we can solve the problems, but demand has to be created to develop business cases. Together with various partners, Regeneration Design can help manufacturing companies and municipalities to become circular. We are well aware of the (upcoming) circular and biobased / degradable material and process innovations with various applications from packaging to public space.

Connecting waste-streams with technology & possibilities, and translate it into products with circular stories and local identity. Creating value is the key in a Circular Economy.

Work

THINK BIG. ACT SMALL.

We believe that storydoing will give more impact than only storytelling. Experiment with ‘how’ you can design, build or change a product, service, process, system or organization to meet the future human & planet needs.

IMAGING. CONNECT. CREATE.

PORTFOLIO

Sustainable Development Goals

Innovative new ways to repurpose old local materials.

Reduce waste which we approach as feedstock.

Climate change is a global challenge that affects everyone.

Revitalize global partnership for sustainable development.

Tools

Regeneration is our purpose, but how do we get there? These tools can help for long-term innovation or complex problems

Regenerative design

Designing products, services, systems and processes which lead to ecological and social recovery and keep the systems healthy.

Systems thinking

The interaction of disciplines, sectors and systems. Placing the needs in a total-system with a social & societal purpose by Transdisciplinary thinking

Frame creation

Solve the needs and complex problems by finding new frames or perspectives. Zoom in and out, continiously.

Storytelling & storydoing

From head to heart by telling & visualizing your story and show what you are doing. Inspire others!

About

KLASKE POSTMA

A dedicated and enthusiastic Circular & Biobased Designer. Practice-oriented & learning by doing.

After my Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Product Design, I started to work as Product Developer. In my career I have developed a wide range of consumer products and innovations.

In 2018, I founded Regeneration design: the link between nature, science/technology, customers and consumers/society.

Passionated about biobased/biodegradable & circular materials, applications & products. Nature can give us safe and healthy biomaterials, we have to discover the possibilities.
