How do we embed circular economy in practice?

************************************************
It's obvious how circularity is missing or rather excluded
from current processes and systems, in its existing shape.
How is it that your phone and accessories, fashion products
and other lifestyle products-
[01]. Become outdated next year or next season, (made to
believe that way, orchestrated reality, messed up collective consciousness,
fast fashion and more)
[02]. Become faulty or near junk in 3 to 5 year with
minuscule or no value or rather a liability (fragile by intention, designed to
last only few years or months or weeks, designed for "repair
impossible", outdated by design)
What do we do about -
[01].IDEA OF PRODUCTS BECOMING OUTDATED SOON
EDUCATE -
1a. Adding circular economy in educational curriculum
including school and across higher education irrespective of stream, for
awareness of those who become consumers, producers and decision makers
tomorrow. Knowledge makes responsible behaviour possible.
SENSE MAKING-
1.b. Ease of access to trusted measurement matrix and legit
interactive visualization tools (app, sensors ect.) for confrontation with
material that we consume, and waste that we produce by individual action and or
collectively as society. See it to believe it, to make responsible day to day
and big choices.
[02]. PRODUCTS FAILING FAST AND GETTING OBSOLETE OR
REDUNDANT SOONER
CURB AND INCENTIVIZE WHAT YOU CAN-
2.a. Curb the fragile design practice by stringent
regulatory measures and responsible industry practice
2.b Incentivize the robust design practice, i.e. designing
products that lasts, that are easy to repair, to keep products and material in
use and in loop as long as possible.
MAKING REPAIR EASY
2.c. Incentivize repair at doorstep to see the impact
2.d. Statutory recognition of repair centers, as integral
part of public and semi public facility (PSP) land use
2.e. "Return or repair everything under one roof",
along with logistic support, and in accessible places within cities, ideally in
CBD, for every product which you find broken or acting up in household.
WHAT IT TAKES
Not much, mere intention, willingness, strategy and some
math!
