Rick Porcelijn – Wood & Wellbeing: de kracht van hout in onze leefomgeving

What happens when raw materials become scarce and linear production turns into a real business risk? In this knowledge session, Rick Porcelijn (16 Mammals) explores how designers, makers, and clients can make future-proof choices in a world where virgin materials are no longer guaranteed. Building on the successful launch of the ‘Snelstartgids Circulaire Materialen’ in 2025, he introduces new insights and practical tools for everyday design practice.
Participants will gain first access to the new ‘CO₂ Snelstarttool’, offering instant insight into the impact of material and finishing choices, as well as a clear overview of relevant legislation and sustainability frameworks—supporting smarter, circular, and resilient design decisions.
