No Excuses Left: If It Isn’t Circular, Why Make It? by Nienke Steen, Director Consumer Products & Textiles at C2CPII

Circularity isn’t a future ambition - it’s an urgent design responsibility. This talk explores how Circular Design, grounded in the Cradle to Cradle Certified®, can transform the outdoor industry from incremental improvement to systemic change. We’ll unpack what it really means to work with circular materials and design products connected to circular systems, that regenerate rather than deplete. No excuses, no half measures - just a clear path toward gear that’s fit for the future.
