Designer Leyla Acaroglu's UnSchool of Disruptive Design reframes sustainability problems, for example moving from designing a better recycling bin to designing systems that eliminate waste from the outset.
Designer Leyla Acaroglu, through The UnSchool of Disruptive Design, challenges designers to reframe sustainability problems. Instead of defining a problem as "how to design a better recycling bin", her approach encourages defining it as "how to design systems that eliminate the concept of waste from the outset", leading to innovations in material lifecycles and circular economies.
