What are the possible strategies for the change of production paradigm traced by the circular economy? What are the opportunities offered to designers in terms of material innovation? How to orient yourself and move effectively, without falling into green washing?
Four sessions lasting two hours each will tell, from raw materials to end-of-life, the possible approaches in the different types of materials, from plastics (of petrochemical or bio origin), to woods and derivatives, papers, textiles, leathers and imitation leathers, coatings, composites, etc.
