How can rethinking product design drive innovation, circularity and
reduce costs? In this episode, Nicola Stattmann, Co-founder and CEO
of OMC°C, explains why circular product development, when
integrated from the start, leads to less investment needed.
The conversation looks at how rethinking material and component
choices enable innovation and simplify manufacturing, using the
Nike Flyknit's reduction from 50 components to 5 as an example.
What you'll hear in this episode: • Why less materials, components,
and process steps translates to reduced costs • The role of
curiosity and enthusiasm in rethinking how products are made • Why
designers need to make their processes transparent to gain
alignment across departments The episode also explores how
Stattmann applied these principles at OMC°C, building an
interdisciplinary team of top experts to develop a modular urban
greening system. This episode was recorded in German. English
subtitles are available on all our platforms. This is the second
episode in the series Implementing Circular Design Principles,
produced in collaboration with the German Design Council. The
series explores how design decisions shape circular outcomes at the
material, product, and system level, following the principles of
Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
