Circular Cricket

Circular Cricket (Prototyping and Socially Engaged Manufacture of Cricket Pads, using Circular Design, Biomaterials, Recycled Materials and Component Reuse) is funded by UKRI, AHRC through its Design Accelerator (DA) programme. DA is part of Future Observatory, the Design Museum’s national research programme for the green transition.

Research

Circular Cricket will complete reports and disseminate information related to integrating circular design principles into product design and manufacture. Additionally, reports will be completed to disseminate information related to the development, production, and testing of circular cricket batting pad (CBP) prototypes made from biomaterials, recycled materials, and reused components produced through a social enterprise model.
