Episode 18: Connecting with a Green Library with Alisa Newey


Listen Later

Alisa is a designer, collaborator and impact-driven leader.

Alisa has worked as a commercial interior designer for 15 years and has a particular passion for the design of environmentally sustainable places and products. She is the director of Re:New Design, an interior and product design studio and certified social enterprise with the mission to use design projects to create solutions to the environmental crisis with a global impact.

One of the projects Alisa is working on is the Green Library. The concept for the Green Library came about through a desire to make certified environmentally sustainable materials easily accessible to Architects and Interior Designers. The first two libraries will launch in Brisbane in early 2024 with a view to expand nationally.

Green Library will be a shared resource of materials for Architects and Designers who care about the environmental impact of the buildings, spaces and products we design. Our purpose is to move the construction industry toward a circular economy. We do this by connecting specifiers with manufacturers and suppliers who are genuinely committed to taking responsibility for the environmental impact of the products they produce.

By providing a physical library of third-party certified products, Green Library will make it easy for Architects, Designers and Builders to select products that are better for people and the planet.

Alisa Newey will be one of our guest speakers on the upcoming Brisbane Designscape Reconnect '23 on the 4th of November 2023.
