Every now and then, it’s worth revisiting old projects. And this is one we’re especially fond of at Nutcreatives.

This packaging project for Viajes de un Catador was born from the idea of rethinking the bag-in-box experience through a more functional, sustainable, and emotional approach.

We designed a self-assembling package that, through its triangular fold structure, improves portability, enhances shelf presence, and increases the perceived value of this type of packaging. Its integrated top handle also avoids the typical plastic handles commonly found in conventional bag-in-box formats, reducing materials and simplifying the overall design.

A project that reminds us that even the most humble formats can be reinvented.

The documentary “RE-ENDOLLATS. The Invisible Destiny of Our Technology” has just been released, shedding light on the real journey of electronic waste and the urgent need to rethink how we produce, consume, and dispose of our devices.

The film features Àlex Jiménez, director of Nutcreatives, who contributes a key perspective: environmental and social impacts must be anticipated from the design phase. As he points out in the documentary, neither the best waste-management system nor the most conscious user —aware of repairability and recyclability— can solve the problems caused by poorly designed products built with materials that are impossible to recycle or repair, or conceived under models of planned obsolescence.

While Nutcreatives fully aligns with the documentary’s message and values both the data presented and how it is communicated, Àlex emphasizes the importance of rethinking not only products but also the business models behind them. Moving design toward genuine circularity generates medium- and long-term value and benefits at every level —including economic ones— in contrast to the short-term gains of linear, short-lived products that create significant environmental and social impacts.

We strongly recommend watching RE-ENDOLLATS to better understand the hidden realities of our technological footprint —and to reflect on the urgent need for more responsible, circular approaches to waste management and design of electronic devices.

Congratulations to the team behind it!

Circular Design in Europe: Innovation and Sustainability through Design

Between 2016 and 2019, Nutcreatives participated in the European project Circular Design: Learning for Innovative Design for Sustainability, funded by Erasmus+.

The initiative brought together 13 partners from Catalonia, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Sweden — including universities, design centers, and companies committed to the transition toward a circular economy.

As ecodesign experts, we helped develop educational resources and led the publication of best practices in circular design. We analyzed eleven inspiring case studies across Europe, featuring companies such as Sea2see, Zicla, Mamukko, Novell, Transparent Speaker, Tierra, Simon Electric, Label Breed, Erfskip, and Flokk.

📘 The resulting guide is packed with insightful texts, infographics, images, and practical tools that illustrate how these eleven companies implemented circularity in their design processes.

📥 This publication —along with many other useful resources— is available for free on the Circular Design Europe website so don't miss it if you are a design student, entrepreneur or professor!

A rewarding experience that reinforces the role of design as a driver of change toward a circular future.

Eco-design improvements must be measured. Always. At Nutcreatives, we believe sustainability isn't just about good intentions—it's about proving impact with data.
As part of the dry toilet sanitary cabin project with and we showed you in the post before, we conducted a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to quantify the environmental impact of our dry toilet system (WseC) compared to a standard chemical WC. The results speak for themselves:
- WseC shows less than 9% of the total impact of a chemical WC across all categories.
- The biggest differences occur during the use phase, especially over a 20-year product lifespan.
- Chemical toilets require weekly emptying and refilling with toxic substances—transported from the Netherlands to Barcelona—creating significant emissions and waste.
- The biocidal chemicals used in conventional WCs are hazardous, classified as "dangerous substances" under EU waste codes and labeled as "very toxic to aquatic life" with "serious eye damage" risk in their own safety data sheets.
In contrast, the dry toilet operates without water, electricity, or harmful chemicals, offering a radically more sustainable and regenerative sanitation solution.
Integrating LCA into our design process helps us make informed decisions and show real environmental improvements. Because ecodesign should not just feel correct—it has to prove it.

Two years ago, we completed the dry toilet sanitary cabin project, co-designed with . Together, we developed three models for installation in locations without access to water or sewage networks. Dry toilets operate without water, electricity, or chemicals, making them a far more environmentally friendly option compared to conventional market alternatives.

The three cabins are designed with specific dimensions and materials to suit different uses and assembly processes while meeting the requirements of the dry toilet technology used in each case. Their basic components include a seat, a tank, and a ventilation chimney.

The primary material is Douglas fir, sourced from sustainably managed local forests and treated with linseed oil for durability. Two of the models feature a tongue-and-groove system for walls and flooring, while the third—built for greater resilience—incorporates a galvanized steel frame with wood cladding. Additionally, recycled polycarbonate roofs maximize natural light, and seat tops made of recycled plastic are recommended for easy cleaning.

The design is guided by eco-design principles, prioritizing renewable materials and modular construction for efficient transportation and disassembly. A life cycle analysis was conducted to compare the environmental impact of the dry toilet against a standard chemical WC. The results highlight the advantages of eliminating biocidal chemicals, demonstrating that WseC has 90% less impact than its chemical-based competitors. Furthermore, by enabling composting, it fosters a regenerative economy.

A few years ago, at Nutcreatives, we had the honor of designing the trophy for the Catalonia Ecodesign Awards, organized by the . This prestigious award recognizes products, projects, and strategies that integrate environmental considerations throughout their lifecycle, promoting innovation and sustainability.

The design of the trophy is inspired by the butterfly diagram of the circular economy, symbolizing the continuous flow of resources, waste reduction, and the regeneration of materials. 🦋♻️

The project began in a workshop we led, where students from across Catalonia explored the ecodesign process. Inspired by a concept developed by the selected group of students, we took it further—handling the 3D modeling, technical development, and sourcing suppliers capable of crafting it from 100% recycled aluminum waste.

Seeing this trophy in the hands of companies and organizations that share our values was a proud moment for us.

What do you think of this trophy? Let us know in the comments!

Biomimicry, a concept popularized by Janine Benyus, teaches us that nature holds the answers to many of our challenges. In the world of production and waste, biomimicry inspires us to create systems where everything serves a purpose, nothing goes to waste, and outcomes are efficiently transformed to fuel other processes. Every material from one organism becomes a resource for another, completing a perfect cycle.

This lesson is one of the pillars of the circular economy, where products at the end of their life don’t become trash but transform into new resources. Systemic thinking is the framework that creates value between the different actors within the system, much like the interdependent relationships in natural ecosystems. This way, the concept of waste is eliminated, and new processes emerge that mimic nature’s cycles, connecting everything.

The biomimetic approach to energy production follows this same principle—mimicking natural efficiencies, like photosynthesis or ocean currents, to generate clean energy with zero waste. Biomimicry has also led to fascinating solutions for solving engineering and design challenges, such as aerodynamic and hydrodynamic shapes that make transportation quieter and more efficient, surface treatments that help buildings and products save water and reduce the use of chemicals to stay clean, and innovative shapes and joints increasingly found in robots and machines.

For those eager to dive deeper, we highly recommend watching Janine Benyus’s inspiring TED talks and exploring AskNature.org—an incredible resource that connects design solutions with nature’s strategies. And, just like we do at Nutcreatives, keep drawing inspiration from nature, the world’s best designer.

At Nutcreatives, we always design with a life cycle approach, considering environmental impacts at every stage and integrating eco-design strategies to improve them.

This is the case with the Diari chair designed for , made from low-impact, non-toxic materials. Its flatpack design reduces distribution impacts, while its modular and repairable structure extends its lifespan as much as possible. Plus, its easy disassembly ensures a proper end-of-life process.

These days, Suru is about to launch a pre-sale with special conditions, so stay tuned to their social media if you'd love to have one at home! ✨
