‘Designing out waste’
Re-designed a children's developmental toy and its product packaging to eliminate waste, using circular design principles.
Waste has a negative impact on the environment we live in.
We must step away from the traditional linear economy ‘take, make, dispose’ lifecycle concept and adopt a more sustainable approach.
The circular economy and approach to design makes more effective use of materials, driving changes to products and packaging by closing the loop of material flows.
As opposed to designing for consumption and disposal, circular design means designing things for reuse, repair, disassembly and material recovery.
