SUX Endineering & Sustainability with Joe Macleod | Sustainable UX podcast

Podcast
Written By Joe Macleod

Sustainable UX is completely incomplete if it only focuses on carbon-neutral hosting while ignoring the footprint of abandoned accounts. This deep-dive episode bridges the gap between digital asset lifecycles, physical e-waste, and behavioral service design.

• Sustainable design systems must extend their criteria to aggressively address digital data waste and toxic clutter.

• Failing to provide users with transparent, clear closure experiences triggers ongoing physical product hoarding and e-waste.

• Escalating global regulatory frameworks make unmanaged product offboarding an immediate legal vulnerability.

• Endineering delivers the precise operational toolkit required to connect user behaviors with true circular economy metrics.

Head of Endineering at AndEnd. TEDx Speaker. Wired says “An energetic Englishman, Macleod advises companies on how to game out their endgames. Every product faces a cycle of endings. It's important to plan for each of them. Not all companies do." Fast Company says “Joe Macleod wants brands to focus on what happens to products at the end of their life cycle—not just for the environment but for the entire consumer experience.”

He is author of the Ends book, that iFixIt called “the best book about consumer e-waste”. And the new book –Endineering, that people are saying “defines and maps out a whole new sub-discipline of study”. The DoLectures consider the Endineering book one of the best business books of 2022.
