ircular design strategy is an approach to design that aims to create products, systems, and processes that are regenerative, sustainable, and circular. The goal of circular design is to reduce waste, minimize environmental impact, and maximize resource efficiency by designing products that can be easily reused, repurposed, or recycled.

2. Project Ideas
We are comfortable working with any of the idea finalized for further work
Building out an in-house Waste & Environmental Solutions
WASTE MANAGEMENT | WASTE REMOVAL | WASTE COLLECTION
Management of Glass & Rubber waste
Using waste rubber with concrete. Crumbed rubber concrete (CRC) is a promising new
material on the construction scene.
Repurposing Old Tractor Parts & Farm Equipment
Take that old piece of heavy equipment and direct it
for something that’s both functional and a piece of
art. This Vintage Massey Ferguson tractor was
repurposed into a bar for back porch drinks and dining.
It’s just the hood cover welded onto a set of custom-
made table legs, with a tabletop over it.
Identify disposal & management of cars plastics part after
use
Using waste rubber (from bumpers, inlet manifold, and door panels and most importantly
safety, improved 34 comforting media devices all made of plastics) with concrete.
Crumbed rubber concrete (CRC) is a promising new material on the construction scene.
Additive manufacturing transforming scrap into power
Proposing a new process of a physical-chemical treatment that transforms the scrap into
powder for 3D printer. The main practical steps are (1) milling, (2) physical-chemical
treatment, (3) 3D printing and (4) mechanical tests for validation

4. Butterfly Diagram
The idea we have suggested fits only on the technical side of the
butterfly, illustrates the continuous flow of materials in a circular
economy. In the technical cycle, the metal scrap are kept in circulation
through processes such as remanufacture and recycling.

7. Internal Process
Scrap
It gets REUSED
• Steel and iron
components make up
around 65% of the
average vehicle.
• The waste out of
internal processes is
very high for even a
single model of Mahindra
• Recycling steel saves
energy and natural
resources.
• Recycling one ton of
steel conserves 1134
kilograms of iron ore,
635 kilograms of coal
and 54 kilograms of
limestone.
HOW MIGHT THIS BE
POSSIBLE FOR MY
PRODUCT?
WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED
OR IS STANDING IN MY
WAY?
To make this possible
in every plant there
should be separate
plants for
1. Scrap separation
plant
2. Dedicated team of
skilled worked for
Process R&D
3. Distributed 3D
Printing plant
Once we have these
system in place, we
can redirect the waste
out of processes to
scrap separation plant
and then the plant can
make the scrap
reusable in form of
Powder which can then
be further used for
additive manufacturing
What we need or the
problem in our way
 New Process
Improvement plan.
 Overall operational
cost may go up.
 System Integrity may
sacrifice.
 Research and
development cost for
the same can be very
high.
 The Payback period
for such an
investment can go as
high as 5-7 yrs.

8. Recycling of
defected or damaged
products (which are
beyond repair and
recuse)
It gets RECYCLED
• These wastes are
generally contributing
to a very less
percentage, but the
impact can be high on
the environments.
• Recycling one ton of
steel conserves 1134
kilograms of iron ore,
635 kilograms of coal
and 54 kilograms of

• CO2 emission will
decrease
• New mindset in the

• Can push for national
commitments to Net
Carbon Zero

10. Impact of Product Trends
Innovation in Mahindra Scorpio, on material circularity
Trend Positive aspects Negative aspects On balance
Increasingly complex
product design and
functionality
May lead to lower total
demand for materials due to
multi-functionality
Reduces potential for reuse
and recycling (heterogeneous
materials,
complex disassembly)
Probably
Negative
Increasing use of modular design Can extend product lifetime
through easier remanufacture
and repair
- Probably
Positive
Local production on demand by
additive
manufacturing
Enables increased material
efficiency compared to
subtractive production
Customization of products
may hamper shared use May
hamper recyclability (multi-
material products)
Unclear
Changing product lifespan Increasing technical product
lifespan of some products
Decreasing useful product
lifespan of others
Probably
Negative
Internet of things Allows for better information
on product composition
improves material recycling
Leads possibly to more
complex products
Unclear
Markets for recycling Provide support to recycling
business models
Reduce incentives for reuse Unclear
Building services around
products
May increase efficiency of
product and material use
(frequency of use, longevity,
repair)
Probably
Positive

11. Internet of Things
& Additive Manufacturing
To enhance product circularity
Emerging innovations can have both positive and negative impacts on product
circularity.
Looking forward, IoT platforms that enable product tracking
throughout supply chains can provide a basis from which to
create policy and economic (tax) incentives related to how
products are designed, utilized and managed along supply
chains and across use cycles.
At the level of the
value chain,
information regarding
product recycling,
reuse and
remanufacture should
be effectively
transmitted to
product designers,
and the flow of
information from
processors involved
at the product's end-
of-life stage to
product designers
needs to be
Such policy and
economic incentives
could eventually be
implemented in real
time. Smart waste
management systems,
for example
incentivising waste
separation by
households through a
reward system, could
become standard
practice.
Circularity
opportunities and
threats could be
integrated in research
visions and roadmaps on
the IoT and additive
manufacturing, both to
stimulate the triggering
effect of those
technologies and to
avoid negative side
effects.

12. Policy Prospective
More focus on facilitating
skilled workforce
Balance consumer protection
with economic stakes
Facilitation of end-of-life
management
Dependence on existing
production system
Facilitate safe and healthy
services with regulation
Action prompted by health or
environmental concerns
Focus on cutting costs
in general, and making
the production as
efficient as possible
Governments provide
basic infrastructure
and fiscal measures
supporting reverse
logistics.
Waste-related health or
environmental concerns
arise is regulatory
action taken to
minimise negative
impacts.
Competition for
economic factors on the
international market
steers national social
and environmental
policies.
Mostly reactive and
geared towards
protecting existing
economic stakes, such
as value-added tax
(VAT) income.
More localised and
service-based
activities require a
skilled but affordable
workforce.
