Behind the Scenes of the Circular Design Summit with Bernd Müller
German Design Council's Bernd Müller reveals 80% environmental impact decided in design phase, yet German circular events focus on tech/engineering not design.
Welcome to a new series. Produced in cooperation with the German Design Council, these three episodes capture the highlights of the Circular Design Summit.
The summit gathers leading minds from business, industry, and design, all sharing one goal: economic success that works hand in hand with ecological sustainability. Discover how circular design, the discipline of creating products and services for a circular economy, is reshaping work and how you can be part of that shift.
Across the series you’ll hear the main keynote, an expert panel, and a behind-the-scenes conversation.
