We would like to introduce you to each field which will be discussed throughout Design Impact Conference, 28 November 2019
The second topic is “Circularity”
Don’t you feel that the transition from linear to circular economy is accelerating? Maybe you also think twice before buying or before throwing away. Maybe you started to experiment already and create your products with a cradle-to-cradle principle in mind. It’s wonderful! Because this is how we feel and act, too. Therefore, we would like to dwell a little bit on this topic at the Design Impact Conference.
Speakers: Isabel Ordonez, Sustainable Design Expert, Circular Berlin
Youyang Song, Youyang Song Material Innovation
On Isabel Ordoñez and Circular Berlin:
Isabel Ordoñez is currently conducting her post-doctoral research and acts as a project manager for CURE - Centres for Urban Re-manufacture, Technical University of Berlin. In her work she particularly focuses on sustainable design and topics such as waste recovery and renewable energy sources. At Design Impact she will elaborate the notion of Circular Economy and speak about the levels of actions for circularity.
Circular Berlin is a network of professionals and organizations, working together to accelerate Berlin’s transition to a circular city. Currently, Circular Berlin is expanding their reach through community-building, education, project development, research as well as developing a local circular economy agenda.
On Youyang Song, Youyang Song Material Innovation:
Youyang Song is an enormously industrious and creative designer who experiments with a variety of materials. What started as cooking trials in her own kitchen, is now evolving into bio-materials and -products relevant for today's industrial context where we can no longer pollute but have to re-think, re-design and degrade.
Youyang Song Material Innovation acts as a lifestyle guide for those who want to enjoy their products with a full respect to the environment.
