Design Meets Sustainability: Three Books in Focus
International Expertise on Circularity in Design
For Design for a Sustainable Circular Economy, international experts, mainly from the academic world, have written articles on the challenges and demands of the circular economy for society and design, and the implications for practice. The findings are largely based on research projects, some with practical relevance, and are supported by clear graphics and a very good scientific apparatus with numerous references.
