Manage episode 437644778 series 2421799
In this episode, we dive into the concept of the circular economy, exploring how it differs from the traditional linear model and why it’s essential for a sustainable future. From understanding the role of design in extending product lifecycles to discovering innovative companies like Loop by Terracycle and Herman Miller, we highlight real-world examples of circularity in action.
Key differences between the linear and circular economies:

- Circular Economy: Nature shows us the way with a circular approach, where everything goes back into the earth to feed the next cycle, maximizing the life cycle of products. (There is a )
- Linear Economy: Waste equals waste.
- Circular Economy: Waste equals food for the next step in the cycle.
- Linear Economy: Design prioritizes customer needs, usability, and appealing packaging.
- Circular Economy: Design prioritizes recycling, easy repair and replacement of components, and ultimately, a product's full lifecycle.
