Circular products conference: Design to remanufacturing

Event information

Join the Circular Products Conference for practical insights into circular product design and remanufacturing, with a strong focus on electronics and real‑world solutions.

Circular economy is one answer to how to develop and document sustainable products. Even so, the transition from a linear to a circular economy is not simple. Ideally, circularity has to be designed into products early in the development process, as about 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined in the design phase.

Force Technology invites decision makers, engineers, and technicians working within development, quality, and sustainability to a day packed with inspiration, the most recent knowledge, and networking with knowledgeable peers.

The conference starts with a plenary session focusing on motivation and general aspects of circularity, followed by two parallel tracks focusing on products and materials.

The topics include:

Resources and materials
Circular product design
Foundation for longer lifetime
Facilitation of recycling
Digital Product Passport
Absolute sustainability and its integration in LCA models

Meet some of our speakers
