Open Circularity

Open Circularity is a Berlin-based project carrier founded by Lars Zimmermann. It develops education, theory & products on sustainable circularity and shares it open source. Open Circularity has created and participated in a variety of projects on the topic of OSH , such as: contributing in books about it ("business" chapter in „Building Open Source Hardware“; chapter „Open-Source-Circular-Design ist unfassbar hässlich - Ein Briefwechsel“ in “Die Welt reparieren”); organizing several events (Open Source Circular Economy Days- a global & local project on open circularity); and creating various online resources (for example on business models for open source hardware or documentation of simple open hardware designs). Currently, they are also developing a software tool called IPO Tablesto communicate and connect circularity. Find more information here.
