New additional category Circular Design
Circular design is critical to addressing the challenges associated with resource scarcity, pollution and climate change and building a more sustainable and resilient economy. By designing products from the outset to be durable, easy to repair and easy to recycle, circular design helps to minimize resource consumption, reduce waste and reduce environmental impact.
Together with our scientific partner, the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, we have developed a comprehensive catalogue of criteria.
If your project is exemplary in terms of circular strategies, you also have the option of registering the project in the additional category „Circular Design“. Here we highlight particularly innovative solutions that implement the current objectives of the circular economy.
Your project - evaluated by a renowned jury of experts
We have been able to recruit a renowned expert jury for Circular Design to evaluate the submissions: Daniela Bohlinger from the BMW Group, Julie Hjort from the Danish Design Center, Dr Manuel Bickel from the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy and Martin Pauli from Arup. The four-member jury assesses the degree of innovation, maturity and potential of each project based on our comprehensive catalogue of criteria. The Wuppertal Institute is a scientific co-operation partner of the German Design Council.
