Description

What is the circular economy and how can reusing materials support it?

A combined talk and practical creative making session to get employees thinking about circular economy, and how understanding materials and learning how to make things from them can support more sustainable living.

What is the Circular Economy and where does creativity and making fit into it?

In this workshop, attendees will explore the concept of circular economy and how it has evolved. We will learn about our relationship with materials and things and consider how can we reevaluate the value we put on reused objects.

Then participants will be invited to take part in a practical workshop to creatively reuse materials. This workshop helps participants to better understand materials and surplus waste, and learn skills to creatively reuse.

Impact - for individuals and organisations - participants will better understand circular economy approaches and will learn a practical making skill around repair (e.g. Kintsugi) or reuse of materials (e.g. denim repair). Participants will also benefit from the proven well-being benefits of mindful making.

Management - Management will be able to consider how new internal processes might be improved to reduce waste destined for landfill or incineration and instead consider how surplus material might be reused.
