Pinyapel Flagship Project - Part 5: Designing Possibilities, Creating Value

"Through design and design thinking, we really challenge the notion of the linear economy and to really close the loop." Executive Director Rhea Matute, DTI-Design Center of the Philippines

In Part 5: Designing Possibilities, Creating Value, Rhea Matute and Pinyapel Flagship Project - SSX 2022 Creative Director Tony Gonzales shares their thoughts on what makes a good collaboration, sustainability, developing pinyapel as a sustainable material.

The Pinyapel Flagship Project will be presented at the Sustainability Solutions Exchange 2022 (https://sustainability.ph) on 23-25 March. Under the creative direction of Tony Gonzales, it features an expanded network of raw material suppliers, processors, and product development partners presenting artisanal and industrial manufacturing for the home, fashion and packaging sectors.

This project builds on the Pinyapel pioneering collaboration in 2019, which bagged a Wood Pencil for Future Impact in Environment and Sustainability at the prestigious D&AD Awards.
