General Information:
Colombia is one of the participating countries of the Closed
Loop Cycle Production in the Americas Program (CLCPA), an initiative
of the Sustainable Development Department (DSD) of the Organization
of American States (OAS). The CLCPA Program aims introducing
and showcasing the viability and applicability of Closed Loop
Cycle Production methods, including the design methodology of
Cradle to Cradle®, on the productive sector of the Americas.
This Program focuses on contributing to the Sustainable Development
of the productive sector of the participating countries, improving
energy efficiency as well as the environmental performance of
the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to facilitate
the transition toward circular economies in the region.
The Design Workshop on Closed Loop Cycle Production and Circular
Economy is offered in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce,
Industry and Tourism, and the Cleaner Production Centre of Colombia.
The School of Product Design of the University Jorge Tadeo Lozano,
and the Industrial Design Program of the University San Buenaventura
are the co-organizers of this first edition of the workshop..
This academic exercise will contribute to two of the components
of the CLCPA Program: Awareness in the Academic Sector and
Promote Application of the Closed Loop Cycle Production methods.
Objective of the Workshop:
To introduce the Circular Economy concept to students
and implement its principles during the design process of
two packaging for SMEs that are part of the CLCPA pilot
program.
Participants:
60 Industrial Design students have been selected
by their universities.
Expected outcome/results:
Increase awareness about the concept of Circular
Economy and Packaging alternatives designed by industrial
design students to be presented to two Colombian SMEs.
