Led by Laura Kozak, WHIZE project (Waste, Inclusive Hiring, Innovation + Zero Emissions) is working to develop and deliver applied design-led solutions for integrating the business functions and material outputs based on circular economy principles. This will involve stakeholder engagement and participatory design, service design and system mapping, production of infographics and data visualization.
This initiative is part of Living Labs’ activities throughout 2021 – 2022, which will focus on circular economies and local ecologies.
