This seminar will examine how efficiency can be addressed in the context of materials choice and when considering that materials are almost always used together. The overlap and tension between materials and product efficiency will be discussed as will the question of how we would recognise a materials efficiency economy if one existed. Examples from packaging and the auto industry will be used to illustrate these topics.
