Municipalities repeatedly observe the same pattern: peaks in bulky waste, discarded yet still usable items, and additional pressure on the waste system. The result is higher costs, loss of valuable raw materials, and visible nuisance in neighborhoods.<\/p><p>In four municipalities\u2014Amsterdam, Breda, Rotterdam, and Nissewaard\u2014designers were paired with civil servants. In Amsterdam, Dagan Cohen and designer Jan Willem van den Ban of Changency worked with Evelien Jorna from the Waste and Resources Directorate. After an initial exploration phase, the first creative intervention followed: a thinking dinner. Cohen then approached Andrea Vos and Carlijn Hutter of nlmtd. This is how the idea for First Aid for Moving was born. Together, they explored how the moment of moving could be used to stimulate circular behavior.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43d4e5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"43d4e5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thinking differently within the circular economy<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-039edc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"039edc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p>Recycling and reuse are becoming more common, but the highest step on the R\u2011ladder &#8211; consciously consuming less &#8211; remains largely untapped, even though this is where the greatest impact lies.
