Engineering a circular future

The Engineer
The transition to a circular economy is reshaping how engineering companies design, manufacture and manage products. This presentation explores three key legislative drivers: the Circular Economy Act; Right to Repair; and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulations and what they mean for engineers across sectors. We will examine practical implications for product durability, repairability, recyclability and material efficiency, illustrated with three to four case studies of companies already aligning with these frameworks. Delegates will gain a clear understanding of how regulation and innovation intersect and how engineers can turn compliance into a competitive advantage in sustainable product development.
