The programme is built around Ethica’s Circular Design Framework, which offers a holistic business development approach. It results in tangible circular product and service concepts, addressing Ecodesign requirements, product and service design with a lifecycle planning approach, and circular business models.
The programme goes beyond theoretical learning—participating companies actively develop circular product-service concepts that encompass the entire lifecycle of their products, from material sourcing and production to end-of-use solutions. The companies represent a variety of sectors, including construction, textiles, bioproducts, and beverages.
“We were truly amazed by the practical applications and the immediate improvements we could implement. As a result, we have redesigned our production to be more environmentally friendly and economically sustainable. We can heartily recommend this program to any company looking to innovate and create circular products and services in a sustainable way.“
