NMIS Netherton, Renfrewshire
Design for ReX focuses on designing products so they can be remanufactured, repaired, refurbished, repurposed or reused, keeping materials in circulation and at their highest value for as long as possible.
This session explores practical ways to embed these principles into your products and processes from the start, helping you reduce waste, lower cost, and strengthen circular value streams. You’ll also hear from local company WEEE Scotland, who will share their experience working with the NMIS Design Engineering team to improve product value and build more resilient revenue models.
