What Design Can Do urges creatives to build a circular society — one great idea at a time
Starting 11 October 2022, the Make it Circular Challenge invites designers and creative entrepreneurs globally to submit design-driven innovations.
When it comes to the climate crisis, there’s no time for cynicism. With millions
of people already experiencing the effects of a warming planet firsthand, we need to move forward with optimism and momentum. This is the driving force behind What Design Can Do (WDCD)’s fourth challenge in partnership with the IKEA Foundation: the Make it Circular Challenge. From 11 October 2022 - 11 January 2023, this global design competition calls on all innovators — from designers to entrepreneurs — to submit their boldest climate solutions using circular design. Winning proposals will be made into reality with an impact-driven development programme. The end goal? To create products, services and systems that are both user-centred and earth-centred, showing that a circular future is not only imaginable — but actionable.
