Regenerative design approaches

Regenerative design is a holistic framework supporting waste-free systems that utilise renewable resources and energy, seeking a balance between production and consumption while also restoring and revitalising (regenerating) its own sources of energy and materials. Regenerative development is the process of cultivating capacity and capability in people, communities and natural systems to renew, sustain and thrive.
