What is Circle Design?
A circular economy is an economic system, where it aims at shifting from a linear economy of “take”, “make” and “waste” to a circular economy of closing the loop. Waste is considered as resource as an input for the new product, meaning that there will be no new material and resource extraction. It certainly contributes to decoupling economic activities from the consumption of finite resources and environmental degradation. Many cases of circular business have been emerged in and outside Japan
Information, ideas and networks are vital when transitioning to a circular economy.
Circle Design supports your organization to implement circular principles into your business through education, research and events.
Our Mission
We contribute to decoupling of economic activities from environmental burdens through supporting organizations to transit to a circular economy.
