 Designing for durability: Why circularity is key to the industrial equipment of the future

Designing for durability: Why circularity is key to the industrial equipment of the future

07/07/2025

Circularity is no longer a niche concept in industrial engineering. It's a widely accepted necessity. Without clear guidance, industries risk buckling under the pressures of global population growth, climate change, and resource scarcity. This is where circularity comes in, offering both environmental and economic returns. It's a shift from “take, make, dispose” to designing products for durability and efficiency.
