Design is at the forefront of the transition from a linear economylinear economyAn economy in which finite resources are extracted to make products that are used - generally not to their full potential - and then thrown away ('take-make-waste'). to a circular one. But how can communication assist this change?
In this episode Laura Franco Henao hears from two guests working in this space, looking at the business opportunities available as a result of circular design and also the power of social media in catalysing change.
Rebecca Garner is Circularity Partner at ASOS, who talks us through the circular journey of ASOS, including their Circular Design Guidebook. Laura's also joined by Marina Testino, Creative Director and Artivist at Point Off View, Inc, taking a look at some of Marina's iconic campaigns, such as #OneDressToImpress and #YellowLikeALemon.
Our two guests are both contributors to the Circular Design for Fashion book, launched by The Ellen MacArthur Foundation towards the end of 2021. Find out more about the book.
