“Hey Google, turn on the lights!” Our lives are deeply intertwined with the use of digital products and services — no arguments on that, right? And yet, when we talk about circularity and circular design, we still mostly talk about physical products. When addressing the impact on our planet, it still is hard to grasp the extent to which digital products also rely on physical resources in order to exist. When talking about waste, we still lack a proper conversation around how to promote durability and reusability in the digital realm.

 

This talk aims at uncovering how the notions of circular design, degrowth and sustainability can – and should be – transposed to the digital domain and on reflecting on the role that we can play as designers. After the talk, brace yourself for an engaging panel discussion where a multifaceted panel of industry experts will bring their testimonial to the table!
