Closed Loop Design

Closed Loop Design is a way of making products so that every part can be used again in new products, which helps save resources and keeps waste out of landfills. In product sustainability, one important fact is that Closed Loop Design often uses a material passport, which is a simple list that tells what materials are in a product and how they can be taken apart and reused. This helps recycling centers and manufacturers know exactly how to recover parts at the end of a product's life, making it easier to turn old products into new ones without losing quality.
