What is designing for a circular world? �
“When designing for a circular world, many ques0ons s0ll need to be answered. But it's also crucial for designers to broaden the design scope so they’re not just looking at a standalone product. Instead, they need to consider the product in an “end-‐to-‐end” way—that is, within the context of a global system of resources.”
