Designers and brands have become increasingly conscious of how the products they create impact the planet.
As well as considering the materials and processes used to manufacture products, the focus is shifting to the entire lifespan of products, with designers and brands considering how products can be more easily repaired to extend their life in a bid to reduce emissions and mitigate damage to the environment.
Recycling materials to avoid waste and keeping products in use for as long as possible are two key principles of the circular economy, which many brands are trying to move towards.
