As part of the Sustainable Materials in the Creative Industries project, the research team are running an online survey to gather creative professionals’ attitudes and actions concerning the sourcing, use, reuse, recycling, and disposal of materials. This survey covers all the creative industries, including the jewellery and watch sector.

We are asking for contributions from anyone with a creative role in jewellery or watch manufacturing, including creative directors, production managers, and technical specialists, as well as bench jewellers and designer-makers.

The survey, is completely anonymous and takes less than ten minutes to complete.

The survey’s results will inform the Arts and Humanities Research Council's future funding strategy. Participating will contribute to positive change, as the results will influence what funding will be available in future for research with the jewellery trade on improving the sector’s sustainability and helping demonstrate these changes to customers and policymakers.

The Sustainable Materials in the Creative Industries project is being funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council
