A 'DIY-friendly' design supports sustainable circularity! This doesn't mean that you HAVE TO do everything yourself. It just means that you CAN make it yourself, if you want or need to. If you can do it, others can too. Circularity needs everyone.

Global #Circularity rate fell to 6.9%—despite growing #Recycling - RECYCLING magazine https://www.recycling-magazine.com/2025/05/14/global-circularity-rate-fell-to-6-9-despite-growing-recycling/
GROW is a beautiful example of the circular collaborative magic of open multipurpose parts. It's parts were created by four different designers. A fifth designer added a new way to combine them into a new set – a chair that can grow with you from toddler to adult. Study GROW here → https://ikego.world/products/grow/
How can hospitals become more circular?
TPM researcher Paula Götz is part of the the ESCH-R project, where we aim to answer the overarching research question: “How can hospitals move away from single use medical consumables and make the transition towards circularity?”

we published a new About page on our website titled "The MNT Difference". it illustrates the core ideas behind what we do. i hope that it'll also serve as a reference point in case you want to explain MNT to others (if you're a user, journalist, or need authorization from your boss to buy etc): https://mntre.com/about.html

What happens to playgrounds on demolition sites? This one seems in fairly decent shape but will likely still be torn down. Kinda sad and a waste really :-/
#FunFact: Did you know that #Krapfen and #sustainability have something in common? ♻️ 🍩
Both are based on #circularity: Krapfen are perfectly round and sustainability is about closing loops. Enjoy your Krapfen and let's think about how we can make our economy just as sweetly circular 😋
♻️ Are you interested in the future of #compositematerials and their role in #circularity?

Tja werte #CDUCSUkorrupt, #FDPseudoliberal und #SPDbeton: Vielleicht war der Kuschelkurs und die Zugeständnisse auf die polemischen Forderungen von #Bauernverband und Co. sowie der #fossilLobby doch nicht der richtige Weg? Vielleicht liegen die Ursachen einfach tiefer (wie #Umweltverbände und andere gewarnt hatten), und:
▶️ ein ständiger Konkurrenzkampf und zunehmende Exportorientierung zu internationalen Märkten führen in die Sackgasse?
▶️ vielleicht ist immer größer/schneller/weiter doch kein Garant für mehr Wert, sondern treibt Preise für Lebensmittel und Einkommen nach unten?
▶️ vielleicht wäre es mal geboten, die Grundlagen für Landwirtschaft e.g. #Boden #Luft #Biodiversität zu bewahren und deren Zustand zu verbessern, anstatt entsprechende Regeln als vermeintliche Hemmnisse zu #framen und immer weiter zu schleifen?!
