Designing Circularity is a 4-episode podcast series, created for the exhibition ‘Designing Circularity’. The exhibition was organised by the Consulate General of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Hong Kong and Macao. The Netherlands is this year’s partner country of the Knowledge of Design Week (KoDW) and Business of Design Week (BodW) events, both organised by the Hong Kong Design Center. Circularity – a sustainable economy that produces no waste and is ‘net zero’ – will be the organising theme of this year’s contributions of the Netherlands.
