product deVELOPMENT EXPERTS
Cyclic Design provides sustainable design consultancy on best practices for sustainability applied to product development. Taking environmental issues as a starting point, we consider a product’s entire lifecycle and investigate where we can optimise efficiency and reduce waste. An ecological approach to design (or eco-design) is an essential tool to minimise the impact of a product.
Sustainability strategy
Design creation
We use creative approaches to an environmental challenge. Creativity can push the boundaries of societal conventions. We use design as a way to form more sustainable behaviours.
Prototyping
Production
After prototyping, we support the technical implementation. We have a wide netwrok of suppliers in Europe and we can build the product supply chain by levaraing the most sustainable materials and producers.
LAUNCHING A CIRCULAR PRODUCT
Nepenthes is the refillable bottle wiping out waste from your daily care routine. Modelled on the tropical flower of the same name, it has a curvy design so it’s cap-less and hangable. Bio-based plastic also means it’s more sustainable and fully recyclable.

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE DESIGN?
Sustainable design takes into consideration the entire lifecycle of a product, not only the way it looks. We analyse the main phases of product’s lifecycle: production, distribution, consumption and end-of-life. Designing a product means for us optimising its lifecycle.
