Commitment to circular designAt the Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU)’s School of Media, Arts and Design (SoMAD), circular product design is a cornerstone of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Industrial Design programme. “At SoMAD, we advance circular product design with our Lestarial Sustainable Material Lab, a hub of innovation where researchers develop materials that align with circular design principles,” said Ooi. Advantages of circular product design materialsCircular product design materials offer key benefits:> Easy to mould: these materials can be shaped with minimal energy and water use, reducing waste and carbon footprint during production. APU Industrial Design graduates specialise in sustainable design, contributing to the green economy by designing products for circular ecosystems. This real-world experience prepares them for careers in sustainability product design consulting, product design management and entrepreneurship.
