Webinar: Design for Circularity (in danish)

Dato: Mandag den 5. december 2022 kl. 15:00 – 17:00
Sted: Zoom

Kort om webinaret:

Dansk produktion af arbejds- og patientbeklædning er kendetegnet ved høj kvalitet, men forkert håndtering og manglede reparationsservice er en udfordring for lang levetid. Projektet Design for Cirkularitet har haft fokus på, hvordan design kan forlænge levetiden på arbejds- og patientbeklædning, og vi vil præsentere viden fra tre branchecases, der har arbejdet innovativt med at integrere cirkulære forretningsmodeller. VIA Design og Business inviterer til dialog og videndeling sammen med en række videnpartnere i Lifestyle & Designcluster regi.

Webinaret henvender sig til alle, der interesserer sig for cirkulære forretningsmodeller inden for arbejds- og patientbeklædning samt uniformer.

Hvad får du med dig hjem?
Du får praksisnær viden med konkrete eksempler på innovationsarbejde baseret på cirkulære principper, samt inspiration til, hvordan din virksomhed kan øge sin bæredygtige bundlinje både miljømæssigt og økonomisk.

Resale and take-back

The seminar is relevant for businesses that are interested in resale and take-back and seeking new knowledge and inspiration about the field. The resale market is growing and has increasingly emerged as the solution to the fashion industry’s sustainability crisis. However, it is just a fraction of garments that currently generate resale value, and fashion brands are struggling to find their way into the secondary market.

In this seminar, we introduce the landscape of resale and take-back in Denmark, provide insights into the market and how brands can learn more about their own resale potentials.

Four pioneering resale platform providers: Create2stay, Continued, Commons & Sassylab will present their solutions and take part in a panel discussion about the present and future of resale. In the afternoon, we will host a workshop to help participants explore resale from a design and business model perspectives.

Time: Physical: 9 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. // Online: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
