Workshop: Bring your circular product idea to life

Do you have a circular product idea, but still have doubts about certain (design) choices? Don't worry, you're not the only one! In the design phase as much as 80% of the environmental impact of a product is determined, so it is logical that you want to think about this carefully. In this workshop we give you the tools and knowledge you need to take your circular product idea to the next level and make the right choices.
