We searched the election programs for the federal election in Germany (next sunday) of eight parties for the keyword "circular economy." On the one hand, this is relevant to us at Circular-Experience.org. On the other hand, a recent study by Roland Berger and the BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V. identifies the circular economy as one of three key measures to help Germany regain its position as a leader in innovation. In this article (German only), you will find the original excerpts from the election programs and our subjective assessment of the question: "Is the economic potential of the circular economy understood, and are initiatives being taken to promote it?". Contrary to our own expectations, the Greens are not in first place, and the far right "blue" party is not in last place. https://lnkd.in/eY3EwXD8

The Circular Hub of the Standortagentur Tirol (Economic Development Agency Tyrol in Austria) selected six companies from the region for a series of workshop to develop, design and roadmap circular business models. A smart and contemporary approach to regional business development. We are looking foward to coach the upcoming 4th workshop in which we will apply service- and behavioral design to the circular business models the companies have chosen.

The German Design Council is presenting an impressive line-up on the #CircularDesignSummit 2025. We are looking forward to the keynotes of Roger Andersson Reimer / Inter IKEA Group, Katie Morgenroth / Google, Daniela Bohlinger / BMW Group, Steffen Erath / hansgrohe, Luisa Balaban / TÜV Rheinland Group, Karel J. Golta / Indeed Innovation, Dr. Claas Oehlmann / Circular Economy Initiative BDI, Alexander Strub / Drees & Sommer, Kim Le Roux & Margit Sichrovsky / LXSY ARCHITEKTEN. Peter Post will represent Circular-Experience.org on the summit with a keynote on service- and behavioral design for the circular economy. 11. March 2025, 9:30 – 18:00 Uhr Hospitalhof, Stuttgart / Germany. Get more information and your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/e4awipF6

Germany is #Number01 in Circular Economy amongst the global national economies according to the "Innovation Indicator 2024" by Roland Berger, Fraunhofer ISI, ZEW – Leibniz-Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung and BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.. What is even more interesting: To improve the poor overall innovation ranking of Germany at #Number07, the three core recommendations of the report are support of 1) Innovation policy 2) Key technologies and 3)... 🥁 ... #CircularEconomy. https://lnkd.in/e-huMGNQ (Image composed of graphics from "Innovationsindikator 2024")

#Collaboration sparks #change – thank you to all our clients, partners, and students for collective impact in 2024 💛. May the loop be with you in 2025 ♾️ .

Narravero and Circular-Experience.org are collaborating on the experience design of the #Digital #Product #Passport of the future. – The European Union #ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) makes sustainability mandatory for products. A central element of this regulation is the Digital Product Passport (DPP) to promote #circularity. With its publishing system for the Digital Product Passport, Narravero goes far beyond the obligation of flawless supply chain documentation: the product itself becomes a #conversational partner for consumers. This aligns perfectly with our vision at Circular-Experience.org of creating a better #user #experience in the circular economy that is less effort and more joyful. That’s why we are excited to collaborate on the service and UX design of the Digital Product Passport of the future.

Two very enriching days at the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle Art Academy Halle at "Circular Circumstances": a real-world laboratory and symposium on the circular economy. — At the symposium yesterday evening, I spoke about our work at Circular-Experience.org alongside Rebecca Earley, researcher for circular economies, textile designer and professor at the Centre for Circular Design at the University of the Arts London, who gave insights into her work on circular fashion, including a blouse made of polyester, the design of which can be planned to change through interventions over a life cycle of 50 (!) years. Alexander Wiefel, closed-loop designer at HolyPoly, presented his start-up's work in the field of plastics, specifically the creation and integration of return systems into the design process. They tackle very tough topics from material science to new production processes to the legal dimension: be sure to check out the offer + cases on the HolyPoly website! — At the same time, the students in the "Sorry we are open" real-world laboratory are looking for circular alternatives to existing consumption. And they use the university's own infrastructure to do this: They develop products and suitable services in the central workshops as recyclers or producers on demand and offer the results in the castle shop. I was able to work with the group for two days on the service components of their product ideas and advise them on the use of our Circular Experience Library. The students inspired me with their commitment and impressed me with their holistic thinking. This open, alert spirit can be found all over the campus, which offers not only fabulous workshops and an incubator for start-ups, but also a BioLab and Material Library. Wow. Thank you Mareike Gast, Andi Wagner and the students Jolanda Schultrich, Jakob Trepel and Johann Kogge for organizing the symposium and workshop! (Photo: Andi Wagner)
