Abstract

This diagram illustrates the systemic implications of adopting a Low-Tech model in production, distribution, and consumption systems. It contrasts the globalised economy's approach with a Low-Tech framework prioritising local resource use, repairability, and community-based reuse and distribution. The Low-Tech model highlights sustainable practices, including ethical material use, reduced complexity, and designing for reliability across short, medium, and long-term applications. The infographic demonstrates how Low-Tech choices facilitate behaviour and societal changes to support a circular economy and sustainable development. It emphasises the role of local production and consumption loops, encouraging systems that minimise carbon emissions and environmental impacts.
