Promote circular economy.

As is made clear on our sustainability page, we take our responsibility as designers seriously and see the much greater leverage for a more sustainable economy in our projects and our design itself.

Establishing D4R as a design principle is the goal.

For example, we pay attention to Design-4-Recycling in our projects to enable the EU goal of a circular economy one day. There are still many hurdles to overcome here and everything could (and should) happen much faster. But we are seeing real change and more awareness of ecological issues among industry and consumers than we did just a few years ago. The change is underway and we are on board as a partner.
