The Biomimicry Institute’s Toolbox for Business is an online resource designed to help companies integrate nature-inspired strategies into their operations, products, and services. The toolbox provides access to case studies, tools, and resources for any stage of a biomimicry project, from early inspiration to implementation. It covers various business sectors such as architecture, design, engineering, and energy. The resource includes a biomimicry design process framework, which includes identifying essential functions, translating biological strategies to design strategies, and evaluating the design for sustainability. The toolbox also includes an extensive database of biological models that have influenced human innovation. The toolbox’s purpose is to encourage businesses to increase sustainability, reduce waste, and conserve resources by reflecting the natural systems that have been optimized over billions of years of evolution.
