在过去的几十年里，工业设计实践和研究广泛关注如何优化生产和消费，以防止对环境的负面影响，如资源枯竭，污染和过度浪费。近年来，“循环经济”的概念越来越多地被用来实现环境效益和经济增长的同时。工业设计可以通过促进系统变革来实现产品和材料的耐用性、最佳再利用、翻新、再制造和回收，从而为循环经济做出贡献。事实上，研究人员已经研究了设计知识如何支持向循环经济过渡的理论和实践方面。然而，这一知识体系尚未得到系统的分析。为了解决这一关键差距，本文提出了以下问题：如何工业设计研究迄今为止，促进循环经济知识？因此，我们调查了相关的设计文献集中在循环经济，通过审查的贡献发表在42个科学期刊。基于我们的研究结果，我们讨论了工业设计实践如何在四个主题领域为循环经济做出贡献：（1）循环生产过程设计，（2）循环消费设计，（3）支持循环经济政策的设计，以及（4）循环经济设计教育。
In the past decades, industrial design practice and research have focused extensively on how to optimize production and consumption, as a way to prevent negative environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, pollution, and excessive waste. Recently, the “circular economy” concept is increasingly used to achieve environmental benefits and economic growth simultaneously. Industrial design can contribute to a circular economy by fostering systems changes to achieve durability, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling of products and materials. Indeed, researchers have examined both the theoretical and practical aspects of how design knowledge can support the transition to a circular economy. However, this body of knowledge has not been systematically analyzed yet. To address this critical gap, this paper poses the following question: How has industrial design research so far contributed to advancing the circular economy knowledge? Accordingly, we survey relevant design literature focusing on the circular economy, through a review of contributions published in 42 scientific journals. Based on our results, we discuss how industrial design practices can potentially contribute to a circular economy across four thematic areas: (1) design for circular production processes, (2) design for circular consumption, (3) design to support policy towards the circular economy, and (4) design education for the circular economy.
