Those interested in circular fashion design, anti-consumption and textile recycling had the opportunity to hear more about these topics during the Circular talks in Lund (Sweden) last week. While Cristina talked about circular co-design and the role the end-user has in closing the loop, Carys Egan-Wyer, a post-doctoral researcher at Lund Univeristy talked about anti-consumption, and Anna Vilen from Sysav talked about textile recycling and the Siptex (Swedish innovation platform for textile sorting ) story.
The main take-aways were that for sustainability and further on circularity to take place, there needs to be a close collaboration between the actors of the value chain, that the user has a very important role (via maintaining, returning or redistributing products), and that the capitalist system will never be a sustainable one and we need to move away from it; stop buying stuff we want, buy only what we need, reuse, repair and be a CO-sumer (contributor & consumer).

As the economic framework is changing from a linear economy to a circular economy, our roles as designers are changing too. It is essential to understand and be aware of these shifts in order to adapt and design accordingly.

The article has been published in The Design Journal , an influential international peer-reviewed journal for all aspects of design.
