"Sustainable design isn't just about creating eco-friendly products - it's about shaping a future where innovation and environmental responsibility go hand-in-hand. Every design decision ripples through time, influencing not just today's market but tomorrow's world.
The power of sustainable design is how it can transform challenges into opportunities. By considering the full life cycle of your products, we're not just minimising harm – we're maximising positive impact and inspiring a new generation of conscious consumers.”

Our Eco Design Process
Eco exploration
Leveraging available data, we analyse your industry's and competitors' environmental standing and report recommendations for marketable eco-implementations for your product.
Life cycle deep dive
We deep dive into your product area to quantify the impacts and benefits of your product via a product life cycle analysis, exploring appropriate supply chain partners, and your pathway towards green credential certification.
Design
Using the insights from our research, we specify materials and manufacturing methods that offer the most appropriate result, considering your environmental goals and the product's end of life.
Manufacturing
We help you select the right factory with the credentials and set-up to produce your product using sustainable materials and methods.
At hone.pd, we don’t just design products—we’re as invested in a sustainable future as you are.
Let's work together to create products that consumers love and love the planet back.
Client story: Unpackaged Eco
Unpackaged Eco’s packaging can be cleaned and refilled by consumers, eliminating the need for single-use plastic.
hone.pd designed key packaging elements, including the logo, brand font, and colour selections, to appeal to its target customers.
We received a Good Design Australia award in the Packaging Communication Design category for this project.
Client story: Staytray
Sometimes, packaging is the product.
This is the case for the StayTray, designed by hone.pd, which fulfills founder Kate Stewart’s vision of using recycled plastic to eliminate single-use carry trays.
Our design won several awards, including the PIDA.
