Christmas Special

What if circularity could make Christmas more meaningful? In this special Christmas edition of The Circular Coffee Break, we explore how circular thinking can enhance the holiday season by reducing stress, minimizing waste, and strengthening connections. From gift-giving to traditions, we dive into how small, intentional choices can align with the values of care, stewardship, and continuity that define both Christmas and circularity.

Host Michael Hanf shares reflections on how circularity can support what many of us want more of at Christmas: less stress, more meaning, better use of resources, and stronger connections.

Along the way, you’ll hear perspectives from leaders in circularity:

• Madeleine Brun Landmark (TOMRA Collection) on reducing waste during the holidays and choosing recyclable or reusable gift wrap.
• Dan Dicker (Circular&Co) on trends in sustainable gift-giving, the value of second-hand gifts, and the principles of circular design.
• Björn Schultz (WWF Germany) on how families are integrating circular practices into their Christmas traditions, from gift swaps to shared experiences.
