Organized by Circularity e.V., a professional network and innovative do tank in the field of Circular Economy, and with the collaboration of Vanessa Heinrich (Professorship Circular Economy), more than 45 company representatives from the entire value chain of the consumer electronics industry came together for two days on January 10-11, 23. The goal was to work together on circular solutions and to develop concrete projects that will be jointly implemented after the workshop.
In small groups, concrete fields of action were identified using design thinking methods, and central approaches to making the Circular Economy a reality were developed. Through the concentrated expertise along the complete value chain, the participants were able to develop exciting prototypes of their solution ideas and thus find answers to central questions around circular product design, reparability, recycling options, consumer engagement and reverse logistics. Based on mutual feedback during short pitches, the ideas could be further developed and are now to become reality.
