Video: The importance of engaging consumers at the beginning of a design process

Flora Poppelaars of Partners for Innovation is an industrial design engineer specialised in consumer behaviour in the transition to a circular economy. Partners for Innovation is Work Package 5 leader. 

The goal of the WP is to enhance society’s participation in the collection of used EEE products. Why is it important to engage the consumer already in the beginning of the design process? And what are the next steps in the INCREACE project? Flora will explain that in the video!
