♻ A circular economy doesn't begin at the recycling facility, it begins at the drawing board.

This infographic highlights the key stages of the circular economy, from raw material and design to use, recovery, and recycling. As product designers, our decisions influence whether products can successfully move through that cycle or become waste before they ever reach the recycling stream.

Join IDSA Columbus on Thursday, July 9th for a tour of Rumpke's NEW state-of-the-art recycling facility and gain a firsthand understanding of how today's recycling infrastructure works. You'll learn what materials are recyclable, what product features create challenges during sorting and recovery, and how designing with the system in mind can improve real-world recyclability.

📍 Rumpke Recycling Facility | 1190 Joyce Ave, Columbus, OH
📅 Thursday, July 9th | 1–3 PM
