Circular Design

Circular Design: an opportunity for your company

Circular Design is an innovative approach to design that aims to optimise the use of resources, minimise waste and create a continuous cycle of value within production processes. This concept is based on measuring the level of circularity, adopting an integrated and holistic approach that considers the entire production chain. The aim is to develop sustainable, technically appropriate and strategically beneficial solutions for companies integrating circularity principles into their business model.
Circular Design focuses on four main areas, the integration of which enables companies to reduce environmental impact, increase operational efficiency and recover materials and components, creating a virtuous cycle that ensures long-term sustainability.

Creating added value

We integrate circularity principles into the business model for responsible resource management and an increase in the value of products and processes

Preserving value

We implement strategies to extend the useful life of resources, reducing material waste and maximizing operational efficiency

Valuerecovery

We leverage technologies and processes to recover materials and components, reintegrating them into the production cycle and reducing the need for new resources

Ecosystem regeneration

We design targeted actions to restore degraded ecosystems, ensuring long-term environmental sustainability

Circular design: our approach

1

Circular analysis and measurement

We conduct a high-level analysis of the context through the collection and processing of environmental, economic, and social data. We assess the business potential by measuring the company’s level of circularity through a holistic evaluation of processesproducts, and services, with the goal of identifying concrete opportunities for the implementation of circular and efficient solutions.

Opportunity exploration

Through innovation calls and scouting for new technological solutions, we explore opportunities and design strategies to enhance the company’s level of circularity, following the Design Thinking methodology. We define solutions by considering the various stakeholders involved in the reference system and evaluating the actual impact on each of them, with the goal of ensuring authentic and sustainable innovation from an environmental, economic, and social perspective.

Scenario building

In circular design, scenario building allows for the evaluation of existing activities or the prediction of how the introduction of innovations might influence the system, identifying opportunities for project intervention. The developed scenarios enable the definition of a strategic plan for the company, based on previous internal and external analyses, ensuring innovative solutions that are integrated into the reference context.
