Ready to Take the Next Step?
How do we best serve our planet for this and future generations whilst still making beautiful objects and beautiful spaces? The Circular Design Thinking process is at the core of the answer. By reinterpreting the way products are designed and by moving away from the linear processes of ‘take, make, dispose’, waste is being utilised as an asset. Chemicals of concern and virgin materials are being phased out, allowing innovative and renewable materials to make their impact. But this is only the beginning as we work towards reducing overproduction and creating responsible material pathways. CDT is continually inspired whilst supporting designers, manufacturers, retailers, brand owners and industry bodies create a new and evolving industry. A curiosity to find solutions and initiatives to achieve a circular materials economy, is what constantly drives CDT.
