Quote from the Activity Leader
Why incorporate Circular Design and Circular economy into training?
Pezhman Ghadimi, Assistant Professor of Manufacturing Systems, University College Dublin
At both a European and National level, policy makers are increasingly looking beyond the current take-make-waste extractive industrial model.
It requires us to redesign products, business models, and the linear systems that have lasted for the past centuries. The CircularDev activity covers the role of design in creating a circular economy, uses a circular design process for incorporating the principles of the circular economy into business model designs.
CircularDev targets learners who want to develop skills in circular economy and circular business models and are willing to have the capabilities and create the opportunities to become change makers for more sustainable circular manufacturing responsibility in their field.
