The Vevolution Podcast - Episode 113: How Circular Design Can Help To Combat The Global Waste And Resource Epidemic

“IT’S THE PRINCIPLE OF BUYING FOR LONGEVITY.” As Dan Dicker the founder of ashortwalk explains ‘There is no ‘silver bullet’ to the global waste and resource crisis, it’s going to take time and it’s going to take all of us but it is fixable and there are solutions we can start adopting right now’. Using rCUP the world’s first reusable cup made from used cups as an example, Dan seeks to explain the new Circular Economy driven solution that aims to not just utilise today’s waste for tomorrow’s product but increase the intrinsic value of that material every time it’s reused to create sustainable long term solution. This talk was recorded on the Positive Futures Stage at Vevolution Festival 2019.
