Abstract

The following article aims to highlight the importance and the connection between the concepts of sustainability, new bio-based materials and circularity through design. By emphasizing bio-based materials as a possible path to shift the paradigm, bringing to discussion the current national economic system, pointing out its development as a feasible phenomenon capable of being implemented. Moreover, what this article aims to demonstrate highlighting the mentioned concepts is the value of the designer’s role today as an agent of influence in society and in the production of goods.
