A circular economy demands circular products, and every part of your process matters. From planning and designing, via the finished product, all the way to where the product or its part are either reused or recycled again.

Collaborative insights

In the Infinity project, Stena Circular Consulting has in partnership with Electrolux, produced a vacuum cleaner prototype. A completely recyclable prototype, that’s been put together from 100 percent reused components and recycled materials. Here you can find how we did, as a whole and in parts of the project. This is also how such a project can be put together – either in a holistic, overall circular way, or as a smaller collaboration, concentrating on a single part of the process. The Infinity collaboration has given us a wealth of insights, of which we share some here. Welcome to take a peek.

Step #1 Let’s collaborate to succeed!
