The Re-Use Atlas

This book is a highly illustrated
'atlas', taking the reader on a journey via four distinct 'steps'
(recycling, reuse, reduce, closed loop), from a linear
economy towards a system emulating the natural world, i.e, a circular economy. Featuring over 25 detailed case studies
describing design exemplars from the worlds of textile and fashion design, product design, interior architecture,
architecture and urban design, this book's purpose is to show designers how they
can successfully navigate and exploit the emerging field of resource management
and the circular economy.

Each step is supplemented with an in depth interview
with an expert who is successfully tackling one or more of
these challenges that present all designers today and includes contributory essays from, among others, Professor Walter Stahel of
the Product-Life Institute, and Professor Jonathan Chapman, author of Emotionally Durable Design.
