Appliances for Sustainable Behavior

This collaboration between RIT’s Industrial Design program and General Electric focuses on developing new systems for laundry and refrigeration that integrate sustainability strategies across the products’ lifecycle while enhancing sustainable user behavior and user experience for the GE Profile brand. The end result is a series of appliance concepts that align with real-world scenarios and integrate strategies for engaging design, sustainability and positive user behavior.
