The cards have been developed to be used in different ways and by different people. Therefore different ways to navigate on each cards and between the cards exist. To emphasize this, each card consists of a graphics side and a content side.

The following goes through different components of the cards and how these can be used to obtain new insights on the specific cards and cards that are related.

On one side of each card, there is a visual compass showing how the individual card links to three overall approaches to design for sustainability:

Technical focus refers to the length of time a product stays in use before it breaks or wears out.
Functional focus refers to the length of time a product stays in use before its functionality no longer meets the user’s expectations or needs.
Emotional focus refers to the length of time a product stays in use before the user stops having any emotional attachment to it.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]
The visual model, shown on each card, builds on these three definitions and positions each card within the overall knowledge area contained in the deck. This is illustrated with a coloured area. The colour of the area is defined by the orientation of the card:

Technical focus is green.
Functional focus is blue.
Emotional focus is red.

All the approaches to sustainable design are linked to six categories that correspond with the product lifecycle approach.

Materials
Production
Retail and Logistics
User and Practice
Recovery
Design and Concept

Each approach is linked to one to four categories. See below to get a further description of the categories and to go to continue to approaches that are related to the individual categories.

As ways to inspire

Choose one card and use this as the starting point for a brainstorm session.
Choose 2 to 4 cards and use these as a frame for developing concepts. How do the cards correlate? How do they differ? Are they contradictory? Is it necessary to make compromises?

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]
As ways to mediate knowledge and values in multidisciplinary teams

Choose one card and discuss knowledge and values that relate to the specific card. What are the shared characteristics? Where do/don’t you agree? Why/ why not?
Choose 2 to 4 cards and use these as a frame for developing concepts. How can the use of the cards create a synergy? How can the use of the cards support a holistic approach?

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]
As ways to reflect and create analytical awareness

With point of departure in a finished or almost finished process, which cards have been used in the process? What have their effect been? Were they the best choices?
With point of departure in existing products or companies, identify the cards that have been applied. How many cards can you identify? How are the cards connected?
