In this episode, we will discuss the opportunities and challenges in circular design and ask the question: what does the journey towards circular design look like?In this episode, we hear from Joe Iles, Circular Design Programme Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, plus Lay Koon Tan, co-founder of Nature Squared, and Katie Treggiden, author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure. This podcast episode includes highlights from our Circular Economy Show, streamed live on our channels on 2nd March.Watch the full show at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTgK7...Find out more about circular design at: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/news/design-and-the-circular-economyExplore our circular design toolkit: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/resources/learn/circular-design-toolkitDiscover all episodes of The Circular Economy Show here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/our-work/activities/the-circular-economy-showFind out more about our work here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/
