Rethink³ - Marine Litter
Get inspired during the third ‘Rethink’; a successful event with presentations and workshops about brand and product development in relation to sustainability.
We Are Perspective, DPI Value Centre Pezy and Product Innovation offer new insights into cradle-to-cradle inspired product design. Leading companies share their knowledge and experience, and offer realistic cases for the workshop.
Theme
’Rethink’ means finding "forward looking solutions that fuel a true paradigm shift towards sustainable products". It means creating successful products that combine the power of a brand, functionality and materials.
This year the central theme will be "Marine Litter"; we create concepts that offer a solution to the pollution of the oceans.

Speakers
Thought leaders in sustainability with provoking and commercially relevant insights on brand, user needs and the latest in materials and technology. The presentations, rounded off with a panel discussion, serve as inspiration for the afternoon workshop.
Workshop
Centered around realistic cases, participants will consider sustainability aspects within the context of a brand. Groups are split and consider either material/technology aspects, or relevant user needs and brand experience. Initiated as two separate workshops, aspects of both are later combined into one solution.
Participation and registration
Participation is free and targeted to brand and product managers, marketers, product developers, material specialists, industrial designers and other professionals interested in brands, sustainability and product development.
Free registration via DPI Value Centre click here.
Given that seating for the presentations is limited to a total of 100 attendees and the workshop is limited to 40 participants, advanced registration is mandatory.
Admission to the workshop is regulated on a first come first served basis.
