Despite the central role of designers in this transition, the design for circular behaviour (DfCB) approach remains under-explored. This paper presents a literature-based conceptual model explaining which factors need to be in place, and how they interrelate, in order for designers to facilitate circular behaviours through product design. By pointing out gaps in the current state, future research directions are suggested to foster the establishment of DfCB.</jats:p> Cambridge University Press (CUP)2026 eng 2732-527X10.1017/pds.2026.10490 61321-1330 Jagnow, Jan, et al. “Design for Circular Behaviour: A Literature-Based Conceptual Model.” <i>Proceedings of the Design Society</i>, vol. 6, Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026, pp. 1321–30, doi:<a href="https://doi.org/10.1017/pds.2026.10490">10.1017/pds.2026.10490</a>.
