A unique Circular Design programme started in Finland in autumn 2022 taking 50 Finnish companies through a 1-year training. Ethica has designed the programme and is leading the execution together with Design Forum.
From the international perspective, the programme is the first and only national training programme deep-diving into circular design principles and focusing on generating concrete product/service concepts to secure companies’ competitive advantage in the biggest market transition of our time.
In addition, this programme will prepare companies for the forthcoming Ecodesign Directive requiring product durability, reliability, reusability, upgradability, repairability, ease of maintenance/refurbishment/recycling in addition to being energy and resource efficient.
“Circular Design is part of the national strategic Circular economy programme and one of the government’s climate actions.”
– Taina Nikula, Senior Environmental Adviser Ministry of Environment
