pushing circular design.
With this year's edition of pushing circular design., the German Design Council is focussing on a major topic of our time: the circular transformation of the economy.
The question is, how can we decouple growth and resource consumption from each other today in order to operate efficiently in a circular economy tomorrow? We see it as our duty not only to contribute to the sustainability debate, but also to enrich it with solutions - from a design perspective. With this year's publication, we are focussing on the potential of design for a sustainable future. We show that strong brands have a strong attitude.
