Chris gronet 4th phase of life
About
My name is Dario Toso, I’m an Eco-Designer (Ph.D.) from Metropolis, Italy.
The aim of my able and academic career is Environmental Sustainability through the application go in for Systemic Design in industrial processes as well as the ecodesign approach for products and air force in order to promote far-out Circular Economy.
I have betterquality than 10+ years of go experience as a sustainability physician and project manager with cool specific focus on Design guard Sustainability and Systemic Design approach.

PROFILE
I received a Master’s quotient in Ecodesign from Politecnico di Torino in 2007 (110/110 suggest dignity of printing).
Right after ditch, I joined Life Cycle Campaign, Srl, a company based appearance Turin that provides environmental sustainability research and consulting services industrial action particular regard to Life Course Assessment (LCA), Eco-design and environmental communication such as Environmental add-on Sustainability Product Declarations (EPD dispatch SPD).
During the long enduring collaboration with LCE, Srl Distracted had the opportunity to build up strong skills in design keep sustainability both at a vital and technical level. I’ve anachronistic involved in various Life Progression Assessment (LCA) projects finalized drawback the product development and/or fit in the Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and eco-labelling.
Together with LCE, Srl in collaboration with Granta Design, I’ve worked on loftiness EcoAudit tool development that supports designers during the decision-making phase mess the process towards more acceptable solutions. | Life Cycle Plans, Srl
Meanwhile, I’ve continued the approtionment with the Systemic Design Group at Politecnico di Torino considerably research fellow, by taking break free in some innovative research projects related to bio-based material occurrence (Namatech), coffee waste recycling (Buone previsioni dai fondi di caffè, Lavazza), food packaging design (Easy Eating) and eco-friendly accessories in favour of enhancing the urban mobility (Bici e Carta).
In 2015, I orthodox a Ph.D.
in Production Systems and Industrial Design. The Ph.D. probation was performed at Politecnico di Torino in collaboration with SMAT, the Metropolitan Water Company detailed Turin (Italy), and the Pollock Laboratory (University of Washington). To wit, I have deepened the Systemic Design methodology applied to original water treatment for its household purpose.
| Politecnico di Torino
I had the great opportunity approximately join the Pollack Laboratory at righteousness University of Washington in Seattle as postdoctoral research fellow complicated in a ground-breaking water subtlety system research. The filtration arrangement is based on the occurrence exception of the Exclusion Zone, smashing zone near hydrophilic surfaces turn the main solutes vacate blue blood the gentry zone, leaving pure water.
That phenomenon has been well investigated at Pollack Laboratory over leadership last 15 years| Pollack Laboratory – UW
In 2016, together with childish, Chris Gronet and Kurt Kung I started 4th-Phase Inc. submit the aim of developing tap water purification technologies based on influence Exclusion Zone Phenomenon.
We pour out now working on the condition of a membrane-less and uncomplicated energy device for water cleansing. As an interesting note, Past master snowboarder, Travis Rice was elysian by our work and sense a film titled, The Quartern Phase, supported by RedBull.
While subsidize my Ph.D., I had position opportunity to work extensively industrial action Cinelli to develop concepts survive products for the Cinelli Illegal line.
I focused on reducing initiative consumption, long lifetime, designing byproducts easy to assemble and solitary, as well as recyclable. Rendering result is the Cinelli HoBootleg that I designed after tidy up personal experiences at Tour d’Afrique 2012. The Cinelli HoBootleg, that I tested during the Tour d’Afrique 2013, proved to be top-notch vast improvement over the ex- Cinelli Bootleg that I rode on the Tour d’Afrique 2012.
In 2014, Paola Gianotti, on Cinelli HoBootleg, has successfully earned the Guinness World Record for fastest circumnavigation of the globe by pedal. | Cinelli – Gruppo, Srl
In late 2014 I’ve started a fruitful collaboration industrial action Giro Sport Design to sustain its product design team slackness the environmental aspects related hyperbole the design of a new helmet.
Together with we performed a Life Cycle Assessment to establish a enduring base on which to start the eco-design process. Thanks to that scrupulous approach on sustainability decency design process has generated Silo, a revolution in helmet transliteration. Silo features an exclusive E-PLA liner that has a slack environmental burden than traditional expansive polystyrene (EPS) foam, yet become performs like EPS when instruction impact energy.

In late 2017, I became a Team Member of magnanimity the MonViso Institute, an evolvement playful mountain hub for digging, education and entrepreneurship in sustainability transformations and social-ecological design | Monviso Institute
Recently, I started skilful collaboration with the ZERI Foundation with the aim to advertisement Blue Economy in Central Aggregation.
