The Institute was launched in 1994 to develop and conduct research and policy analysis and to participate forcefully in public debates. In addition, the Institute undertakes research and analysis commissioned and paid for by government, business, unions and community organisations. Those involved in the Institute have each, from different viewpoints, been concerned about the impact on Australian society of the priority given to a narrow definition of economic efficiency over community, environmental and ethical considerations in public and private decision making.

Every time you turn on the tap to use water you will use a Ripple Product, and every time you use a Ripple Product you will be saving water. Ripple is a design business looking to communicate to Australian people about their water consumption. This communication is done through “water saving” product development. Our aim is to provide well-designed, “water wise”, functional items for the home that allow the consumer to be made aware of their own water consumption. The more that consumers are aware of their water usage, the more effective we can be to reduce our water consumption, individually and as a community.
