Summary

In this episode, Wolfgang speaks with Mihaela Stefanescu about
the relationship between circular economy, climate policy and
product design.

Mihaela shares insights from her work on circular economy policy
and as a nominated expert on the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) roster of experts
supporting technical reviews under the Paris Agreement.

Together they explore why circularity is essential for achieving
climate goals, why waste is often the result of design decisions
made long before a product reaches consumers, and why
repairability, transparency and material choices play a crucial
role in creating more sustainable systems.

The conversation also highlights a theme often overlooked in
technical discussions: circular economy is not only a challenge
of technology and regulation, but also one of governance,
education, trust and human behaviour.
