Sustainable product design is essential to ensure the transition to a more sustainable future and open new opportunities for your business.
Join us on Tuesday, February 18th in the afternoon for our RE:DESIGN networking event, a unique gathering of stakeholders from all regions of Belgium and various sectors, to discover how eco-design can unlock opportunities for your business by combining profitability, innovation, and sustainability.
Learn how eco-design promotes circularity and enables forward-thinking business models by ensuring products are repairable, scalable, and adaptable to concepts such as the sharing economy and product-as-a-service.
Through concrete case studies, expert insights, and practical tools, we will demonstrate that the transition to circular solutions is not only possible but also rewarding. Don’t miss the chance to meet designers, thought leaders, and industry pioneers who are making a difference.
