Description
Max Fabian:
"Weturn is a participative web-based platform for feeding materials back into various cascading circular material flows. At the same time it is a network which allows users and companies to contribute knowledge, in order to deal with different materials or service cycles. To cope with the various material flows of a certain product, weturns format is designed for any kind of reuse: second-hand markets, repair, refurbishing and recycling. Weturn is a marketplace for products and services around the circular economy, and as a brand, Weturn also creates products of its own, to develop the potential of this platform. In this way, even in the development stage, relationships can be forged between producers, suppliers and recyclers, who may subsequently contribute to the cycle themselves. This can attract and motivate further companies from diverse industries to join a regenerative product and service system. Weturn was my graduation project in product design. Thus, design and design-thinking brings a large element to the challenge." (http://community.oscedays.org/t/challenge-weturn-industrial-and-service-design-for-the-circular-economy/418)
