Last week Circular X welcomed Dr Yuya Mitake who was visiting us from The University of Tokyo. With Japan being one of the Circular X countries explored in our work on circular service business models, it was great to learn about Yuya's work at the intersection of design, hashtagproduct service systems and now, the linkages between repair and sufficiency!
Yuya took us through a workshop where we had to think deep about what stops us from repairing, and what could help us from an individual, business and policy perspective. We also considered how this could contribute to hashtagsufficiency and "making do with less".
There are also excellent links with our new Fixophobia project that explores design, business models and policies that encourage repair, with organisations like TU Delft (Ruth Mugge), iFixit, any several others, plus of course the Circular X work on sufficiency, like the Sufficiency database (https://lnkd.in/eSPpf4sn) developed by Laura Niessen.
