Free Design for Recycling Workshop at TU Delft
Date: 29 September 2026

Time: 13:00 – 16:00

Based on research into the recyclability of products conducted as part of the ongoing Circular Circuits research project, this free hands-on workshop has been developed.

During the workshop, you—and, if you wish, a colleague—will literally take apart one of your own products to discover what makes it recyclable or non-recyclable. Through product disassembly, assessing its recyclability, and guidance from a recycling expert, you will gain practical design insights in less than three hours.
