Intro Power Inclusive Future For All FY23 Purpose Report | 42 Looking Ahead Incorporating circular design principles Circular design means designing products and systems that enable reuse, minimize environmental impacts, drive innovation, and realize value for our stakeholders. We align to 25 Circular Design Principles organized across 昀椀ve focus areas: 1. Material use 2. Standardization and modularization 3. Packaging and accessories 4. Smart energy consumption 5. Disassembly, repair, and reuse In 昀椀scal 2023, we continued to integrate our Circular Design Principles into core design processes and operations. We also provided opportunities for employees to learn more about circular design and better incorporate the Principles into their work. We organized product teardowns, where cross-functional teams took apart and analyzed components of selected products and packaging to identify ways to improve their design for circularity. Additionally, we collaborated with our recycling partners to inform how we design products for end of life. A group of supply chain engineers from Cisco's Collaboration team also visited one of our recycling partner’s sites, where they learned how products were disassembled for recycling. This greater understanding can inform engineers' future design and material use decisions. Reducing plastic use Read more about our In 昀椀scal 2023, we continued working on several projects focused on reducing the use of plastic and, where plastic could not be designed circular design program. out, increasing the use of recycled plastic. For example, Cisco's ESG Collaboration team redesigned products such as the Webex Room Reporting Hub Bar to use at least 55 percent postconsumer recycled resin.
