Abstract

In recent years, design has turned its attention toward the Circular Economy where material issues are central. More and more companies and designers are turning their research towards ‘circular materials’ from the recycling of ‘technical materials’ or created from an organic base of processing/production or consumption waste and reintegrating into the biological cycle. The paper focused on ‘bio-based circular materials’, presents the first phase of research in progress, with the aim of mapping and systematizing the strategies used for the conception, development, design, production, and distribution of new materials and related products.
