Design for Sustainability (DfS) is an emerging and significant domain. It is also one of the prime needs of the hour considering the burden of human consumption and production. In order to create sustainable human consumption and production, a complete revamp of the consumption structure is needed. Through the SSI Lab, the Department of Design at IIT Guwahati, aims to foray into this domain.
