How to design products for a Circular Economy

In this podcast we speak to Sam Taylor from De Ronde Creative Hub about designing products for a circular economy, how to engineer the maximum reuse of raw materials, consumerism in fast fashion and the use of AI regarding the future of sustainability and much more.

We discuss the definition of circularity, how to engineer the maximum reuse of raw materials, the establishing of waste systems. Furthermore, we discuss the importance and the need for designers when creating new products to fully consider the implications at end of life, the levels of consumerism in fast fashion and material supply chains.
