About this event
Design determines what we eat, the clothes we wear, the buildings we live and work in, and the systems that deliver food and mobility.
Today, in industries like fashion, food and plastics, products and systems are designed in such a way that most materials are destined for landfill, incineration or leaked into natural environments. We have never produced more clothes - nor worn them less, while a third of all food produced goes to waste. It’s not just the materials that are wasted but embedded energy, resources, labour, and creativity are lost too.
With circular design, we can prevent the creation of waste and pollution right at the start.
Join expert speakers from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Berry Global and Ocado for an insightful panel discussion around sustainable design and its implementation in the retail industry.
