To achieve true #CircularDesign, both design FOR & FROM recycling need to be implemented to close the material loop.➰ Four years ago, a consortium of 20 organisations joined forces to reduce the use of new plastics in electronic products. Learn more👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

As part of PolyCE, ONA set out to create brand new high-end lighting💡 fixture, using for & from recycled design. Discover how, by using a step-by-step approach, ONA was able to solve challenges such as transparency👓, plastics moulding and versatility👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

For a more manageable #CircularDesign of electronic products, we developed the “drop-in” method. This means exchanging parts of an existing product with #recycled♻️ plastics to learn without a big investment in an entirely new product. Learn more👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

.@PhilipsHealth took the challenge to develop their most sustainable coffee machine by using #CircularDesign and the PolyCE developed "drop-in" method. With no compromises on the design or coffee taste, they made the award-winning Senseo Eco. Learn more👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

.@WhirlpoolCorp demonstrated the technical feasibility of #CircularDesign in their case study of the washing machine tub and refrigerator demonstrator. Thanks to the developed and tested "drop-in" method, their products met the expected quality standards👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

At our workshop, @EU_Commission Executive Vice President @TimmermansEU unveiled the PolyCE guidelines and emphasized the importance of moving towards a #CircularEconomy♻️ and ensuring that our products are #durable, #ReUsable and #repairable https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

Valuable components like circuit boards, wires & motors can cause health risks as #Ewaste is often burnt for the valuable metals. For a more #CircularDesign, use easy-removal solutions - this way, materials such as plastics can also be recycled👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

#TakeALook👀 at the Drop-In Approach™ that provides a practical three pillar tool for product developers to start designing with recycled plastics. More about products' #CircularDesign in our FOR and FROM recycled guidelines: https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

A world without #plastics🧴 is unthinkable and more than 80% of the environmental impact of a product is determined at the design stage. At our workshop on April 15th, we presented our guidelines and experts shared their best practices on #CircularDesign👉 https://t.co/DU4iVjGenw

Used commonly in electronic enclosures, glass fibre filled plastics pollute waste streams, reduce mechanical properties and cause wear. Instead, use carbon fibres or mineral-filled plastics, which can be #recycled♻️. More guidelines on #CircularDesign: https://t.co/GRWXHuRQ6g

Switching from linear to #CircularDesign thinking will require practical solutions for the design of electronic products. Our guidelines are made to both reflect the latest status on #Ewaste collection & #recycling, and be practical for product designers: https://t.co/GRWXHuRQ6g

Throughout 70 years, the production of #plastic increased from 1.5 million tonnes in 1950 to 368 million tonnes in 2019. The European project @PolyCE_EU presents the Practical Guidelines focused on #CircularDesign to improve #WEEE plastics #sustainability:

#TopTip for #CircularDesign of electronics: Avoid permanent fixtures to batteries🔋 such as glued, welded & enclosed solutions in your product. Instead, use snap/click mechanisms to minimalize the risk of polluting material streams. See the guidelines👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

“You are designing a product that is being brought into the market in quantities of millions” Thijs Feenstra, Pezy Group Watch our experts on #CircularDesign as they give insights on why product design is so important for plastics recycling👉 https://t.co/XFXONzmxWP

Senior Manager of Sustainability at @Philips Eelco Smit explains their journey in applying design methods FOR and FROM recycling to create products like the award-winning SENSEO coffee machine. #CircularDesign👉 https://t.co/XFXONz4X5h

Proud to share a book that we've contributed to - Design FOR and FROM recycling https://t.co/0DmrRZGbzV Available free to download. Packed full of facts about the plastics recycling industry + practical guidelines for designers. You can find us on p53 #recycling #designers

.@tjfeenstra and Joop Onnekink from @PezyGroup delve into the process of designing FOR and FROM #RecycledPlastics, implementing in new products and the evolution of the wireless value. Check out the guidelines👉 https://t.co/hq7Yg6x95g #CircularDesign
