Circular Design
Workshop
Sustainability is the world's greatest design challenge
Circular-designing a product or service means to make it desirable for customers, minimize its environmental impact and maximize its business impact along its life-cycle by designing a circular system around it.
A key aim of circular design is to reduce to a minimum the overall environmental impact of a product or service. It refers to innovative design solutions in both products and services that take into consideration the entire life-cycle – from the extraction of raw materials to production, distribution and use – all the way to recycling, “repairability”, and disposal.
Circular Design Workshop employs a tested user-centric approach to design. Ran successfully in Germany the concept is making its way to Finland.
Develop sustainable and circular products and services to strengthen your sustainability practices.
The training will give you a practical toolbox to solve ecodesign challenges in system level and addressing challenges and opportunities in your business
Create a competitive advantage by implementing circular design first. Optimize processes, products and services and thus save costs, increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, and decrease environmental impacts

Circular economy and circular design are all about smart, innovative and sustainable design solutions with minimal or no waste when a product is consumed. What whatever waste there is should go back to the producer, to be used by consumers in a new context or be returned to nature without doing any harm.
