Dematerialization is the concept of making more with less. Taken from the economic point of view, it refers to the absolute or relative reduction of material required to serve economic functions in society.
There have been various discussions around the subject. Some people think that dematerialization will come naturally as technology evolves (ephemeralization) while others are of the opinion that it should be a well defined pursuit for the society. One way or another, it is very possible that without it, economic growth will come sooner or later to an end.
In the picture above you can see the expression of an interesting, non-scientific argument for dematerialization. It is worth to mention that the picture is from the oldest squat (and specifically from the toilet) in the Netherlands, the "Vrijplaats Koppenhinksteeg" in Leiden.
