For years design has been touted as defining a significant portion of the environmental impacts of everyday products and systems. ‘Sustainability’ has been a lens often chosen to tackle related environmental issues that humanity faces; the Brundtland Report describes sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Design focused on reducing the environmental impacts of materials embedded within products necessitates an engagement in whole systems and aligns with the rise of global product stewardship arrangements, waste export bans, the right-to-repair movement, and the circular economy. …

Product design and development are considered to be essential in the transition toward a circular economy. Circular product design requires strategies and methods that support a holistic and systems approach considering the complete lifecycle of a product. In order to support designers and businesses in going circular, various theoretical frameworks, methods, and strategies for circular design have been conceived in recent years. Yet, the need for more evidence of how to help circular design in practice remains. This study aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of circular design by proposing a tool to help …

The need for a transition from a linear economy to a circular economy is required to solve global problems such as climate change, biodiversity, waste and air pollution. In this study, we defined the challenge to the transition to a circular economy as 'lack of consumer interest and awareness', and the research focused on changes in consumers' perceptions towards the circular economy. Seeking embodiment as a key concept for perception change, we conducted the practice of plastic circulation experiment, Cap-No-Sonogo, with the participation of residents in Kokubunji City, Tokyo. We clarified two perspectives of resource circulation obtained through embodiment among …
