Thanks to all attendees for participating of the #circulardesign session!

Some takeaways:
- dialogue between #designers and all the actors involved in value chain is crucial
- #redesign comes with change of mindset first
- importance of #local / national leaders and showcases

We discussed about CE and the role #designers play, we released the #CircularDesignGuide in Chinese & launched the new #CircularDesign plastics challenge.

What a day, #Shanghai!
