The first Circular Design Clinic focuses on designing and optimising products in a circular way. This hands-on event will connect experts and businesses, allowing them to take meaningful steps towards a sustainable future and enhanced ecological competitiveness. 

Circular Design in Focus

In today’s world of sustainable business, Circular Design is more than just a buzzword; it’s a vital strategy for extending product lifecycles and minimising ecological impact. Experts from well-known companies like Lufthansa Technik, Tchibo, and Johnson & Johnson will share insights on how Circular Design is transforming product development. 

Hands-On Product Optimisation

Participants will have the chance to bring their own products and assess their circularity during the event. Collaborating with experts, they will develop specific optimisation strategies to make the transition to circular production easier.

• Introduction to Circular Design and the Circular Economy: Discover how Circular Design works and what it means in light of the new EU Eco-Design Directives. 
• Product Analysis and Optimisation: Each product brought to the clinic will be closely examined for potential sustainable improvements. 
• Practical Implementation: Work on actionable plans for integrating optimised design and production methods within your company.
