How can we better design for our recycling and waste systems?

Speakers:

For our second event we focused on bringing together the people designing and making products with the people that have to deal with them once they reach their end of life. Our two expert speakers from the waste and recycling industry covered topics including:

  • How can we better design products for our recycling and reuse systems?

  • What does the future of recycling hold, and how can we prepare for it?

  • And how can we improve the end of life of the products we create?

In addition Philippa spoke to us about the current state of recycling systems and what actually happens to the products we design once they are thrown away. While Gwen guided us through how new legislation could affect the way we design products and packaging as well as sharing her experience in where design for recycling succeeds and fails.
