What will product design look like when the old “make-use-waste” approach is no longer an option? We’ll talk about ways to design products, select materials, and build supply chains so that products last longer and materials stay in use. What does the circular economy mean for designers, manufacturers, and everyone involved, and what needs to change to make it happen?

Margaret Aus, PhD, Senior Researcher in Circular Design, creator of UPMADE®, and fashion designer, will join the discussion along with Jeanine Ballone, founder of World Collective and an expert in global fashion supply chains.
