Circularity strategies and definitions

Circularity strategies for designing productsDescription
Developing collaborative approachesEstablishing mutually beneficial relationships with key suppliers/customers in supply chains, working together to achieve common goals through building trust and communication channels
Design for durability and reliabilityCreating products that withstand wear and tear, as well as unexpected challenges, over extended periods of use
Design for maintenance, disassembly, reassembly and repairConsidering the ease and efficiency of maintenance, disassembly, reassembly, and repair when designing products or systems
Designing products to allow for future expansion and modificationCreating flexible and scalable products that can be easily modified or upgraded over time without significant changes to core design
Joint decision-makingCollaborative approach where decisions are made with key suppliers/customers about product design/modifications, process design/modifications, quality improvement, and cost control affecting the entire supply chain
Sharing informationTransmitting or exchanging important data with key suppliers/customers involves providing them with essential details about sales projections, production plans, order tracking and tracing, delivery status and stock level
Design for standardization and compatibilityDesigning products or systems to meet industry standards and promote interoperability, reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enabling seamless collaboration between different products or systems
