Towards circular systems

91% of materials wasted makes redesigning our behavior a necessity

Designing for circular systems

As 91% of materials are wasted, redesigning our behavior is essential to shift from a linear to a circular economy. Circular systems create real impact by extending product lifecycles, reducing waste, and keeping resources in use as long as possible. At FLEX/design, we analyze, envision, and design solutions that enable circularity while ensuring economic value for our clients. By integrating functionalities, creating circular platforms, developing modular systems, and designing for reuse, we help businesses to align sustainability with profitability, transforming their products and systems to thrive in a circular economy.
