Design for the Circular Economy - IDE Master Class

Circular product design helps design professionals to improve the long-term sustainability performance of products. The key principle of the approach is "designing out waste," fitting your product in a circular economy where the value of the product, its components, and its materials are maintained and not wasted.

The IDE Design Master Class "Design for the Circular Economy" will take place on June 7 and 8, 2023. This Class is given by Ingrid de Pauw and Bas Flipsen.

This Masterclass helps you to understand the circular mindset and the role you can play as a design professional in the transition towards a circular economy. We will address implications for product design engineering using examples from practice, and provide research-based, practical design approaches and tools. You will explore the circularity of your own product and come up with circular-ready redesigns.

The sessions in this Masterclass offer a mixture of interactive lectures, tutorials and workshops with the aim to immerse you into the theory and practice of designing for a circular economy. You will work on your own case study to learn how to use the tools and methods taught.
