MICS Spoke 2 – ECODeCK. ECO-Design Circular Knowledge

Website's Project

MICS Made in Italy Circular and Sustainable is an Extended Partnership between Universities, Research Centers, and Enterprises, funded by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) with resources provided by the European Union under the NextGenerationEU program. Dividing research into eight thematic areas (Spokes), MICS promotes circular, self-sufficient, self-regenerative, safe, and sustainable Made in Italy design and production. The Department of Design and its researchers work within Spoke 2 - "Eco-Design Strategies: from Materials to Product-Service Systems (PSS)," which aims to develop and experiment with a portfolio of PSS eco-design strategies that support all design phases. ECODeCK, part of Spoke 2, develops eco-design strategies for the ecological transition in the fashion, textile, and furniture sectors. The project aims to create a shared vision and capacity-building tools through pilot projects and analysis. The results include a resource repository, case studies, and eco-design models for companies and institutions.
