Circular Material Flow

Circular Material Flow is a way to keep materials moving in a loop so they can be used again and again, which saves resources and reduces waste. In sustainability-focused design, this means thinking about how every part of a product can be taken apart, fixed, or used for something new when it is no longer needed. Designers can choose materials that are easy to separate and recycle, and plan products so that each piece has a clear path for reuse. This approach helps keep valuable materials in use for a longer time, lowers the need for new raw materials, and supports a cleaner environment.
