We are driven by design to help eliminate waste, circulate materials, and regenerate nature.

Circular Design Co is a multidisciplinary studio accelerating the transition to a circular economy through the effective use of innovative, sustainable materials.

We educate and advise designers, makers, builders, investors and networks to connect supply chain gaps and create regenerative social value.

In the past 10 years, $3 billion has been invested into the next generation of sustainable materials with more than $455 million of that raised in 2022 alone (source: Material Innovation Initiative). However, innovators face very real barriers on the path to commercialization, often having to change the product design for the material, or the material not being adaptive to the production process.

Additionally challenging is the inherent paradox of “scaling sustainability”. Our work is to decouple economic activity from the consumption of finite resources, build long-term resilience, generate economic opportunities, and provide environmental and social benefit.

Our team is an international network of collaborators organized around 3 core functions:

1) Maintaining a Circular Material Library to build our pre-verified partner base and stay up-to-date on the industry.

2) Consulting material makers and product producers on circularity and scale, with the unique ability to offer a global perspective.

3) Collaborating with material partners on our own range of products to continually grow and hone our skills.

Together we explore materials, advise processes, and co-create concepts that move forward the circular economy.
