Biomimicry is a new discipline that studies the solutions adopted by nature as the result of 3,800 million years of evolution and aims to imitate these designs and processes to solve mankind’s problems.
Engineers, biologists, computer scientists, chemists, physicists and other researchers in a wide range of fields are working on finding solutions inspired by the strategies developed by plants and animals to thrive in their environment.
Studying a leaf to invent an improved solar panel is one example of this innovation inspired by nature.
Its basic tenets are based on the fact that nature:
- Runs on sunlight
- Uses only the energy it needs
- Fits form and function
- Recycles everything
- Rewards cooperation
- Banks on diversity
- Demands local expertise
- Curbs excesses from within
- Taps the power limits
Our company is chiefly inspired by three concepts that have provided the catalyst for our spiritual quest and established a proper conceptual framework for embarking upon a new model, in which industry is designed to celebrate interdependence with other living systems, transforming the production and consumption of goods into a regenerative force.
The sources of our inspiration are:
- Cradle to cradle
- Natural capitalism
- Biomimecry
