Textile collages: a new concept of sustainable products for fashion design

A preocupação ambiental é hoje uma das grandes questões e desafios do design no século XXI. Em detrimento disso, os profissionais de design possuem maiores desafios para alcançarem os requisitos de concepção de produtos industriais, tendo sempre em mente os fatores de sustentabilidade ao longo de todo o ciclo de vida dos produtos. Nesse pensamento, esse artigo consiste na apresentaçao de alguns resultados de pesquisa de Doutorado em Design realizado na Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal) cujo assunto é a criação e o desenvolvimento de design de superfícies têxteis através da técnica da colagem têxtil, numa ótica de desenvolvimento sustentado.Environmental concern is now one of the major issues and challenges of design in the twenty-first century.

Main constraints in developing public organic procurement

The present study investigates how to increase and improve school catering supply chains, to understand hindering factors and their perception in order to reveal drivers and constraints for POP. These include policy implementation instruments, changed values and attitudes, healthy nutrition policies, supply chain bottle necks, premium prices (to producers), successful procurement strategies and certification procedures. This work is based on a two-step survey concerning the Italian school food service system. Initially questionnaires were submitted to a qualified group of 50 producers and 50 caterers (managers of national and international companies of food service for school, local administrators who manage food services for the schools). The results of the questionnaires have subsequently been the basis to plan in-depth interviews with few decision makers who could represent both caterers and producers. The aim of this second step being to view how identified problems could be solved. The results show how the understanding and the acceptance of the organic food concept among the catering staff is crucial for the degree of success in each step of public organic procurement. The introduction of organic food in serving outlets needs appropriate support (such as qualification of key actors and a specific financial support). Other key aspects in this regard are laws and regulations promoting the procurement of quality food, policy interventions tackling more than one aspect of the problem, education programs, calls for tenders, negotiated procurement contracts and quality standards
