Designing truly recycled and recyclable products requires technical decisions from the source: selection of compatible materials, reduction of complex mixtures, design for disassembly and processes that facilitate future recovery. This blog works on how to translate these criteria into product development without diluting the brand positioning. The objective is clear: to move from theory to viable collections, with aesthetic coherence, profitability and real fit in circular models.
