How can loops be closed, what operational requirements are needed, which partners can supply solutions and how can they benefit?

Circular Design Brief
Defining the design brief is an important gate in the design process. Challenges are translated in opportunities, the scope and objectives of the project are defined. Contrary to “standard” design briefs, here environmental and user needs are equally valued and treated. Whereas in current business models those needs and objectives are often considered as contradictory or even opponent, in circular approaches they can be combined and even support each other.
