Evaluates a design methodology that enhances sustainability in product design, suggesting effective use for innovators.
The Circular Life Cycle Blueprint (CLB) is a four-step design methodology for integrating circular economy principles at the component level in product design. Developed via a design science approach with iterative prototyping and evaluation, the CLB guides design teams from conceptualizing circular strategies to mapping component lifecycles and conducting a sustainability assessment. Pilot evaluation with industry professionals indicates that the CLB is effective and user-friendly, fostering innovative circular design and demonstrating practical viability in sustainable product development.
