Unlocking Circular Design: An Introduction to the Disassembly Map

In response to growing demands for sustainable product design and EU legislation promoting reparability, TU Delft has developed the Disassembly Map — an innovative tool that helps product designers visualize and assess how easily products can be taken apart for repair, refurbishment, or recycling.

This webinar offers a comprehensive introduction to the Disassembly Map and its role in supporting circular product design, by Simon Frémineur industrial designer specialized in reparability.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of how the Disassembly Map supports compliance with EU sustainability policies and empowers design teams to create more repairable and circular products.
