Professor Simon Lockrey is a researcher at RMIT focussed on design strategies for the circular economy and sustainable outcomes. He has worked in industry and academia with a number of projects including food waste packaging and dyson hand dryers, and has expertise in life cycle assessment, leadership, business and quite a unique knowledge of art/design history. Although Simon’s background was engineering for new products, he had a realisation in industry where he switched to instead re-design everyday products to support environmental benefit and have real word impact. He has recently become a Professor (congratulations) and he provides some good advice on how to work with partnerships and groups as well as how to learn from these relationships to push forward. We also discuss some interesting real-life examples of the circular economy in action with businesses such as Samsonite and Alessi and how corporate should be promoting environmental stewardship. His order – a unique option for this show (and a first) - Peroni Zero.
