Circular design is an approach that incorporates the principles of the circular economy into the design process to create products and systems aimed at minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. Key elements of circular design include reuse, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and recycling, ensuring that products have extended lifecycles and their materials are continually repurposed. By focusing on design for longevity, modularity, and the use of recyclable or biodegradable materials, circular design promotes sustainability and reduces the environmental impact of production and consumption.
