Circular by Design Seminar - Online

Do you want to reduce waste and increase resource utilisation in your design process and product design? Do you have demands from customers and suppliers to produce more environmentally friendly products but not sure how to start?

Circular design is the practice of creating products and services that generate zero waste and can be reused, repaired, recycled or repurposed. Mastering circular design can not only boost your financial profits but can also improve your environmental and social footprints.

This Circular by Design Seminar will help you to:

· increase your awareness of the importance of circular-design in manufacturing and the principles of circularity

· gain the knowledge and tools to incorporate circular-design principles into product and process design or redesign

· learn from other manufacturers who are practicing circular design and reaping the benefits.

Who should attend?

Any manufacturer who wants to understand how to incorporate circular economy principles into their design process.
