The Biomimicry Thinking approach, as a problem solving tool, can be virtually applied to the whole spectrum of human activities. To find out example of bio-inspired products and the inspiring organisms/ecosystems, you can consult asknature.orgIn particular Nature’s ability to inspire more efficient solutions can inspire innovative, lower-cost and environmental friendly processes and products for companies to market as well as more efficient management practices.
Planet can assist companies through:
to introduce to Biomimicry and Biomimicry Thinking approach
Tailor-made courses on Biomimicry Thinking approach to design for specific professionals and corporate
on developing innovative products and processes through a Biomimicry Thinking approach
Assembling and Coordinating multi-disciplinary R&D teams to develop bio-inspired products and ecological standards in company´s management and processes
Facilitating Networking with actors in biomimicry oriented research and bio-inspired products development
Applying the Biomimicry Thinking approach allows developing products and processes that:
Biomimicry can help seeing product categories in a different perspective. This creates an opportunity for innovation. It can also help creating disruptive technologies to transform or help building new industries.
Nature creates conditions conducive to life. It is sustainable in itself. Following natural design principles (we call them the Life's Principles) allows to design more sustainable technology.
What we see nowadays in Nature it is the result of 3.8 billion years of R&D through a trail and errors process to optimize and adapt to local conditions.
life tends to organize extremely energy efficient designs and systems, optimizing energy use at every turn. Emulating these efficiency strategies can reduce the use of energy.
Nature fits form to functio. By studying the shapes of nature’s strategies and how they are built, biomimicry can help you minimize the amount spent on materials while maximizing the effectiveness of products.
By mimicking how nature manages flows of materials and nutrients within a habitat, a company can set up its various units and systems to optimally use resources and eliminate unnecessary redundancies. This approach is also known as "cradle to cradle".
