CIRCULAR DESIGN SPEED DATING

On May 9th ARA Innovation Space hosted a speed dating event on circular design. Rainer Pamminger (Vienna University of Technology) were invited to lead a table discussing the circular design realised within the Fairphone 2:
“Rainer Pamminger told us about the start of the Fairphone as a student project and the discovery of the inhumane working conditions of many people in the mobile phone value chain that led to the development of the Fairphone. We then were allowed to experience the modularity of this smartphone first-hand by disassembling and reassembling parts of it.”

Next to this the circularity of packaging products, a wasching machine and of printing products have been discussed in detail at the other tables.
