4.9 Key takeaways

Product architecture determines fabric efficiency, durability, repairability and recyclability.

Low-waste pattern cutting and digital optimisation reduce cutting waste before production.

Component standardisation and modularity enable repair and refurbishment.

Durability and repair extend product life; disassembly and cyclability enable recovery.

Digital tools (CAD, AI-assisted nesting, Digital Product Passports) support circular product development.
