Abstract

Today, designers find expression through project design but also assume an active rolein the application of new materials, becoming both researchers and experts in the man-agement of aesthetics and sensoriality. Sustainable plastics are relatively new on themarket, but, despite considerable application interest, they do not yet have a clear aes-thetic-sensory identity. This study explores the aesthetic-expressive properties of sus-tainable plastics according to the principles of CMF design and aims to investigate userperception. The data, collected through two surveys, has enabled the development of adigital tool to create greater awareness in designers wishing to approach design withsustainable plastics and enhance their perceptual effects.
