Sustainability in product design
Green issues move society. And companies have also discovered the topic for themselves, because sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in product development and in the development of new business models.
Does sustainability move creative people? Are creative companies, with their flexible structures and unconventional ways of thinking, perhaps even better positioned for the requirements of a future that will change dramatically as a result of climate change and environmental degradation?

Sustainability and circular economy at Aalen University
Vanessa Vanini, Department for Sustainable Development, Degree in Industrial Engineering, Aalen University
In a sustainable circular economy, materials and substances should be used in such a way that they create benefits in products for as long as possible, can be recovered for future production processes and are therefore not irretrievably lost as waste. Recycling and how events can be organized more sustainably is being researched and tested at Aalen University.
