Circularity Engineering

... designs engineering systems in such a way that they consist of circular, environmentally compatible and resilient products, components and materials.

Circularity engineering is an ab initio concept starting with the materials selection, product design, manufacturing and process selection and not, like the currently practiced circular economy, starting with the waste of linearly planned products and systems.

As a core element of a holistic resource transition, i.e. for material, energy and also human resources, Circularity Engineering is central part of INATECH's research and education agenda.
