Circular Economy is the most impelling transformation we have to enact. It impacts all the sectors and involves everyone. In some cases, companies have a big economical incentive in becoming more circular, either because they reduce costs or increase competitiveness. Other challenges are more complex to tackle. Those are the ones that can benefit from agile innovation done through codesign and digital fabrication. Opendot is a fablab and open research hub, that is using these methods to accelerate the transformation in different areas, with a specific focus on food waste and loss.
