Marie Hebrok

About

Marie Hebrok has worked with topics related to sustainable consumption at SIFO since 2011. She is a trained product designer, and has work experience in retail design. She also has a master's degree in technology and science studies from the Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture (TIK) at the University of Oslo, and a doctorate in industrial design from the Department of Design at NTNU. The dissertation "Food Waste: A practice-oriented design for sustainability approach" studies how design can contribute to influencing food practices and reducing food waste. Marie is particularly interested in how the design field can contribute to making consumer practices more sustainable. Thematic areas she works with in ongoing projects are product lifespans, plastics, speculative design, systemic design, and imaginaries of sustainable futures. Other areas of interest and experience include green marketing, aesthetics, waste and digital services.

Research projects

DISCo: Digital infrastructures for sustainable consumption: Redirecting, reorganizing, reducing and reimaging consumption
DISCo aims to produce knowledge on how consumption can move in a more sustainable direction by applying digital technologies.
IMAGINE – Contested Futures of Sustainability
When you think about the future, what do you imagine? Flying cars, tubed food, or high-tech clothing might be among the images that come to mind. IMAGINE sets out to study these images of the future as imaginaries. Imaginaries are the many ways in which we humans think about the future and ways in which they can become possible. Our project looks specifically at how we imagine sustainable futures.
LASTING: Sustainable prosperity through product durability
How can the lifespans of consumer goods be increased?
Plateforms: Enabling sustainable food practices through socio-technical innovation
The Research Project PLATEFORMS aims to produce in-depth knowledge on how food practices in the home are affected by innovations in food provisioning platforms.
REDUCE – Rethinking Everyday Plastics
The project will look at plastic in a systems perspective and investigate how the consumption of plastic products in everyday life can be reduced.
Wasted Textiles
The primary objective of this project is to reduce the use of synthetic textiles and the amount that goes to waste.
