Design Meets Sustainability:
Three Books in Focus

International Expertise on Circularity in Design

For Design for a Sustainable Circular Economy, international experts, mainly from the academic world, have written articles on the challenges and demands of the circular economy for society and design, and the implications for practice. The findings are largely based on research projects, some with practical relevance, and are supported by clear graphics and a very good scientific apparatus with numerous references.

Based on the 4 R’s of the Circular Way (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Replace), basic requirements and recommendations for action are conveyed, supported by current and historical practical examples and interviews from the Danish design scene.
