2. ResearchThe timescale of the projects of thestudio often did not accommodatefor lifecycle analyses. This is why theydeveloped a practice which they called“lifecycle sketching“, which consists offollowing the structure of a lifecycleanalysis and predict where most of theimpact will be based on research.The research stage inspired them touse the circular strategies that theyemployed and which have ultimatelymade their product unique in themarket. During this phase they identifiedthe sustainability pain points at eachstage and attacked them, resulting inthe development the product. Theyfound that it was certain componentsin speakers that got damaged mostoften which could be solved througha repairable design that allowed forreplacement of parts.Before launching the crowdfundingcampaign, the designers decided tovisit manufacturers and organise theirproduction process. This would allowthem to start production as soon as thedemand began. They won a grant thatallowed them to travel around Europeand Asia in search for a manufacturer.This opportunity enabled them toexplore a range of options and evaluateimportant aspects first-hand: theconditions of the workers, the quality ofthe finishes, and product handling. Itwas essential for the company to ensurethat the manufacturing was set to thesame sustainability standards as theyhad followed in the design phase. Theyevaluated the impact of the factory aswell as their waste handling methods.essential for the Transparent Speakerto be as sustainable as possible at allstages of its lifecycle. This 26-page guidewas also included in the crowdfundingcampaign. Kickstarter was inspired by itand used it to develop a resource guideto encourage designers to developsustainable products, thus being apositive influence on many projectspublished there.One of the partners had experiencein sound and speaker design fromworking at Nokia. They continued tolearn about sound and how to providethe best possible quality, thus achievingtransparent sound.Despite the fact that this product hasalready found international success, thecompany is still developing it with thegoal of making it even more sustainableand trying to improve its performance.They put a lot of value into directcommunication with their clients, andthis has fostered a closer relationshipwith them.They acquire feedback from them thatallows Transparent Sound to update theproduct, responding to existing needs.This relationship was enabled throughtheir online popularity and crowdfundingcampaign.KEYWORDS: Life-cycle analysis,crowdfunding, manufacturers.After having done thorough researchon sustainability of products andmanufacturing, they decided to collectthis information in a sustainability guide.This would serve as documentationfor themselves but mostly to setsustainability and working conditionstandards for their manufacturers.
