Seminar on ‘Design in a recycling context’

31 January 2012

Rising raw materials prices combined with rollar coaster prices are causing anxious sweats in processors and manufacturers worldwide. These are issues affecting raw materials of all kind: plastics, textiles, but also rare earth metals.

Today, it’s becoming increasingly important to pursue a responsible course in the use of raw materials. The focus of the seminar “Design in a recycling context, critical materials and Cradle-tot-Cradle” is therefore on the need for sustainable raw materials management in design and the development of corresponding business models.
The agenda features the following speakers: Jan-Henk Welink, of Delft University, who will examine the topic “Design for Recyclability” and business models for responsible raw materials management; David Peck, also of Delft University, who will address the issues ““Material criticality, design and possible adaption of the eco-design methods”; Marten Toxopeus, of Twente University, on Design in a Recycling Context; and Diana den Held (Academic Chair Cradle-to-Cradle, Erasmus University), who will present a business case dealing with C2C projects.

The (Dutch-language) seminar will take place on February 29th, from 13:45 – 16:45, in Building 3mE, room F, Delft University. Admission is free, but please register in advance at j.h.welink@tudelft.nl
