Minimize environmental impact by circular design
The climate crisis is intensivying and many companies along side governments and consumers are taking action to contribute their share to drive needed changes. One key element in addressing the changing requirements is the shift towards a circular economy. Away from a make, use, depose system towards a system that efficiently uses resources and energy.
At the core of this shift are circular products, services and business models that address user needs while ensuring design decisions that consider environmental and societal impacts.
The training is built around the Ecodesign Learning Factory concept developed by Fraunhofer IZM, that integrates life-cycle thinking with design thinking and covers the initial steps when working with circular design.
