This panel examines where circular strategies are working in the marketplace\u2014and where they fall short\u2014by comparing high-quality, durable products with lower-cost, disposable offerings. Industry leaders will discuss the logistical realities of sustainable design from designing products with a \u201cvintage-ready\u201d second life to navigating the complexities of reuse logistics. They will provide real-world examples and actionable strategies for designing and managing furniture products to maximize value while minimizing waste. Whether you are a designer looking for practical solutions, an owner seeking to maximize your asset investment, or a manufacturer caught in the middle, this discussion will illuminate the path forward.<\/p>\n<p>This non-CEU session is designed for owners, A&amp;D professionals, manufacturers, and service providers who want grounded, operational insights on making circularity work in the real world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/events.teams.microsoft.com\/event\/8c71bf87-089c-47e0-8309-db8d2fc3fc07@bf0a6c7e-90d3-492e-bb8b-39e9fe4ebb23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REGISTER HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attend the free, virtual Accredited CEU &#8211; Squaring Off On Circularity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[43,109],"class_list":["post-25034","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-third-party-event","tribe_events_cat-virtual-event","cat_third-party-event","cat_virtual-event"],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/25034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/25034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25047,"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/25034\/revisions\/25047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25034"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=25034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
