Circular-ish: the messy reality of circular design

As the circular economy continues to gain momentum, designers, creatives, and innovators have seized the opportunity to rethink the way in which products are made and used. But there is still much to do — we need pioneers to demonstrate what is possible, and most of the innovation we need to scale the circular economy transition has not yet been established. In this episode, we will discuss the opportunities and challenges in circular design and ask the question: what does the journey towards circular design look like?

In this episode, we hear from Joe Iles, Circular Design Programme Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, plus Lay Koon Tan, co-founder of Nature Squared, and Katie Treggiden, author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure. 

This podcast episode includes highlights from our Circular Economy Show, streamed live on our channels on 2nd March.
