Discover how designing for longevity can revolutionise our urban landscape with a more circular economy.  What is circular economy and why is it so important? Join us next week, in our latest interview with our Senior Sustainability Consultant, Izzy Connolly, as we explore how creating buildings that last longer and are easier to maintain and adapt, can help to reduce waste and meet our ever-changing, evolving needs with a circular economy. "It's about designing systems where waste is not an afterthought but a design flaw, and where products and materials are kept in perpetual circulation, being repurposed, and reused where possible," shares Izzy.   Stay tuned for the full deep-dive! 💬 Eager to lead the way in sustainable design?

Embracing the future with sustainable design! In 2025, sustainability isn't just a trend - it's a way of designing our world to be kinder to our environment. From renewable materials to zero-waste solutions, every choice counts towards a greener planet. 🌍 #2025trend #sustainability #dayhousestudio #dayhouseliving #interiordesigntrends2025 #designtrends2025

Circular Design is the focus of Haworth and our partners- supporting the economy and helping reduce waste

Circular design begins at the design phase—and it holds the key to a more sustainable future. At its core, circular design challenges the traditional linear model of "take, make, waste" by prioritising longevity, reusability, and recyclability. It’s driven by the principles of the circular economy, which focus on: - Eliminating waste and pollution: Opting for non-toxic, recyclable materials and pushing for material and product innovation. - Circulating products and materials: Designing products to remain in use at their highest value for as long as possible—through strategies like repairability, disassembly, and technical durability. - Regenerating nature: Ensuring products can safely return to the earth, supporting natural ecosystems instead of depleting them. By embracing these principles, the design phase becomes a powerful tool in shaping a future where products serve not just people, but the planet as well. Circular design isn’t just an ideal—it’s a necessity for building a healthier economy and a more sustainable world. (Ellen Macarthur Foundation) #CircularDesign #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

### Redefining Sustainability at the London Design Festival 2024 The "Circular Economy Blueprints" exhibition at London Design Festival 2024 is setting new standards in waste management for the construction industry. Showcasing five innovative blueprints, this exhibit focuses on reducing, reusing, recycling, and reformatting various construction materials. These frameworks not only advocate for sustainable practices but also provide actionable solutions for industry-wide adoption. By implementing these principles, the construction industry can make significant strides towards a more sustainable future. How do you think these blueprints can be best integrated into current construction practices? Share your thoughts and let's discuss! #CircularEconomy #SustainableDesign #WasteManagement #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #LDF2024

Cradle to Cradle: Reimagining Design for a Circular Economy In our linear "take-make-dispose" system, waste is inevitable. But what if we could design products and systems that mimic nature, where waste becomes food? Cradle to Cradle (C2C) is a revolutionary design philosophy that challenges this outdated model. It views materials as nutrients, either circulating safely as technical nutrients (indefinitely reusable) or nourishing the earth as biological nutrients (compostable). This groundbreaking approach prioritizes: 1)Eliminating toxic materials: Ensuring the safety of both human and environmental health. 2) Maximizing resource efficiency: Designing for disassembly and recyclability. 3) Creating positive environmental impacts: Regenerating natural systems and minimizing our ecological footprint. C2C isn't just a concept; it's a framework for creating a truly sustainable future. Want to learn more about Cradle to Cradle and how to integrate it into your architectural projects?

From Theory to Impact: Designing a Circular Future ♻️ Sustainability isn’t just a concept—it’s a practice. The circular economy is more than just a buzzword; it’s a real-world shift happening right now across industries. 🌍 Brands are redesigning products for reuse and recyclability. 🏗️ Architects are building with sustainable, regenerative materials. 🛍️ Industries are moving from fast to circular with repair, resale, and recycling. The challenge? Scaling these solutions, making them accessible, and embedding circular thinking into every design decision. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing insights on how we can put circular design into practice—and what that means for the future. Are you ready to be part of the shift?
