About CIRCO
CIRCO is a Dutch circular design program, helping companies to take the first step in the process for circular business.
CIRCO, is supported by the Government of Netherlands, providing circular design training programs to create circular products, services and business models for companies.
Participants from Turkey’s leading companies had the opportunity to learn the pressure cooker version of the “Creating Business Through Circular Design” methodology by the experienced instructors of CIRCO.
Some of the issues covered during the workshop were the role of product design in circular economy, how important it is and how it provides circularity in business. All participants had an opportunity to experience the required steps to apply CIRCO’s circular economy business models and design strategies for their own businesses and understand their role in the circular economy by practicing a re-design process of a product.
We would like to thank all TMM members who participated in this special event which is a rather short version of the original 3-day CIRCO methodology workshop.
