At Mater7U we support organizations to understand their materials and value chains through a system design approach. We work with them to map and rethink their processes, helping to unlock the regenerative potential embedded in the systems they are part of.

As systemic designers we cannot simply ask ourselves: What better material should we use? How can we measure its circularity? How do we manage waste in the most efficient way for our business and process?  We need to contextualize our concerns within the systems we are a part of . Therefore we want to ask ourselves: how do we create a dynamic balance between materials demand and offer and (bio)regional available resources? How do we even gather this information? And what about the impacts, cross-scale, that we create at the (bio) regional scale?

This is what we do at Mater7U.

With you, through regenerative system design (RSD), we want to gain a more holistic understanding of the places where you operate, the impacts they generate, and the networks they are part of, and that with you can help us co-design new regenerative material systems.

This approach fosters awareness of the deep interconnections that shape our systems — reminding us that sustainability nor regeneration cannot be designed in isolation. Being regenerative is a complex challenge that requires the collaboration of a cohesive and conscious group of actors, working together to identify leverage points and activate the regenerative potential embedded within the systems we seek to transform.

Too much of the “regeneration talk” is done on computers, on file excel,  but regeneration practitioners need to go out and meet these systems they want to co- and re-design. And every system has to design its own way and stay flexible enough so that it can keep regenerating itself.

When practicing system design we can support you in the visualization process through a hybrid methodological pluralism that includes:

• scientific analysis 

• mapping and modelling tools 

• participatory design tools 

• on site trainings

We are the right partner for your organization if you’re rethinking the materials you use, the impacts you generate, and the dynamics of your value chains.

But if you’re ready to go further — to understand your role within a larger system, reconnect with its key stakeholders, address its pain points, and envision a regenerative future — then together, we can move from insight to meaningful transformatio
