We showcased Agency of Design‘s prototype cO2 card in the past, and the firm just played a winning hand by launching a full suite of Energy Trumps! The deck of cards aims to help designers and consumers create and buy more environmentally sound products by identifying the environmental properties of 45 different materials. Each card presents key information so that producers can choose between materials in a fast and practical way.
