Circular system design

“Humanity does not primarily have a pollution problem, but a design problem (Michael Braungart, 2013).” If we design our systems intelligently from the outset, we can ensure abundance and satisfaction. In doing so, we need to take our efforts beyond the mere interest in recycling: not “less bad” but “more good” must be the primary goal in system design, because “less bad” is not synonymous with good. Circular system design provides solutions to the design problem and integrates circular principles and practices into your innovation and development process. We make the difference through profound experience in systems engineering and architecture development in the design of complex mechatronic systems.

Challenges

Scarcity of raw materials, bottlenecks in the supply chain, global dependencies and climate change require a rethink in the design of products and services.​

Core questions

  • Which companies will become valuable in the context of climate change and resource scarcity?
  • How do we apply a systemic approach to the circular economy in innovation and product development?
  • How do we take our workforce with us on the path of transformation?
  • How do we move from a company-centric to a holistic ecosystem approach including the supply chain?​

Solution approach*

  1. Diagnosis
    Identification of the key levers, early indicators and pain points in circular system design.
  2. Conceptual design
    Development of alternative solution concepts for circular design strategies and principles.
  3. Solution design
    Design and refinement of the selected solution concept.
  4. Implementation
    Bring the solution to life and develop it into a routine.

*the approach must be adapted to company-specifics 

Benefits

In addition to reducing CO₂ and harmful as well as non-circular resources, circular system design enables the development of unique selling points and a future-proof positioning.

Key results

  • A good 15% increase in turnover
  • Significantly lower energy, material and disposal costs
  • Increase in employer attractiveness​
