Following in the Footsteps of Circular Design

POST_H~1

Circular design has become one of the well-known methods to create a better, sustainable, and livable future. Design schools started to embrace circular design in their curriculums, and designers are looking for ways to come up with alternative materials, renewable resources, and traditional methods of making along with emerging technologies. Designers are now looking for ways to design products that come from nature and return to nature without leaving waste behind. They employ different strategies such as reusing, repurposing, and repairing for longer-lasting products. Therefore, this paper explores circular design, systems thinking, and their potential in the near future through reimagining existing products and services.
