It is our responsibility as designers to create better products and experiences while making less waste. We must stop talking about how we must change and start changing now.

“Circulist is an opportunity to support and be inspired by like minded people who believe in the power of collaboration and want to do better for our planet, for people and for nature.”
Monica Richter

“As a society we are facing significant challenges and can’t afford to continue building the way we do now. What is required is the far-reaching transformation of our current practices including new approaches to design, materials, construction and business models. Moving from a linear economy to circular economy will be fundamental to decarbonising our building culture.”
Ninotschka Titchkosky
co-CEO, BVN Architecture
"Moving our world & transitioning our economies toward a circular (cradle to cradle) model is paramount in order to accomplish positive outcomes for People, Planet and Profit. The digital revolution over the last few decades has shown us the way, the future will be Circular."
