Unseen green: bottom-up circular product design.

With 50 million tonnes of electronic waste worldwide every year, the current consumption of products is not a bright future. Is this prospect still reversible? Engineers can design products so that they can be easily repaired, parts replaced or even printed on-demand
. Designing for the circular economy is the future of product development.

Bas Flipsen is senior lecturer at the Faculty of Industrial Design in Delft and has conducted research at iFixit on scoring reparability of consumer electronics. During the lecture, Bas will mainly focus on the physical product; how does it fit better into the various possible recovery strategies. In collaboration with iFixit, TU Delft has developed design tools to assess consumer products for repairability. Products are analysed for component detachability. At TU Delft, these methods were further developed into design methods for designing circular-ready products.
