How to profit with the circular economy
What is the Circular Economy?
The resources on our planet are limited - circular economy principles ensure that we make the most of the resources we have. Key principles include reducing consumption, reusing products, and recycling to recover the materials.
Why does Circularity matter to business?
Circularity principles can help businesses navigate a rapidly changing business context, such as:
Increasing prices for limited raw materials, such as metals
New rules, such as the ESPR or right-to-repair
Supply chain shocks amid geopolitical tensions
Circularity can help your business reduce risks in a rapidly changing world, reduce costs by using less materials, and create new opportunities with innovative business models.
What are the circular opportunities for businesses?
There are many opportunities to create profit for your business with the circular economy. For example:
By designing more durable products (including for your own operations), you can reduce maintenance costs, increase the lifetime of the asset, and most importantly reduce revenue lost for downtime
The EU creates substantial waste, despite also having very little access to critical raw materials. Businesses that can close the gap between waste flows and supply chains, whether with re-use, disassembly, recycling, or logistics are positioned to create tremendous value
Innovative business models can meet customers and businesses grow sustainability by challenging previous assumptions. For example, shifting towards rental and service models, rather than product sales and ownership.
