Reimagining Humanitarian Shelters: A Case Study in Circular Design Approaches at AidEx 2025
How can humanitarian shelters be both life-saving and sustainable? At AidEx 2025, Closed Loop Fashion and partners Alpinter and H. Nizam Din & Sons took on this question through a Case Study presentation on circular shelter design. The team revealed Life-Cycle-Assessment (LCA) results and introduced new design scenarios that demonstrate how tents can be reimagined to last longer, use fewer virgin resources & can be recovered at the end-of-life.
