Abstract
Circular economy is a solution for how to achieve sustainable development in the
world. A circular economy involves the recirculation of products and materials, and
aims to avoid the creation of waste. For a product to be recirculated, the recirculation needs to be considered already in the design phase.
This thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications and explores how to design a visionary camera concept for circular economy in the year 2030.
The thesis has followed a product development process based on the Double
Diamond design method. The development process began with an extensive
exploratory phase by collecting research on the topic and through interviews
discover opportunities for circularity at Axis.... (More)

This thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications and explores how to design a visionary camera concept for circular economy in the year 2030.
The thesis has followed a product development process based on the Double
Diamond design method. The development process began with an extensive
exploratory phase by collecting research on the topic and through interviews
discover opportunities for circularity at Axis. In a defining phase, requirements for the circular concept and the future scenario were established. The project followed through an iterative development phase where several concepts were generated and examined. The concepts were then assessed based on how they complied with the requirements. After a final concept was selected, it was further improved by iterations of prototyping.
The result is a concept for a PTZ camera where the key features are developed for
the ease of repairing and reusing parts. The concept can be disassembled easily by
having few fasteners. Through a modular interface, the parts in the camera can be
exchanged and upgraded. The materials in the concept have been selected with the
aim of being both durable as well as they contribute to clean material streams. The
features in the concept would allow the camera to be looped back into the economy
again and again. (Less)
