Circular economy case studies
Discover how we help our clients unlock the value of the circular economy.
Circular economy case studies on cost reduction
We enabled the production site of a global chemical company to reduce waste management costs by 0,5 million euros per year. Using a digital matchmaking platform, we helped our customer to find a buyer for its industrial wastes.
For GRDF, we brought together more than 100 suppliers, buyers and prescribers for a day to design more circular equipment. We used our circular cards game to identify new circular opportunities.
Circular economy case studies on increasing revenue
For a global office equipment manufacturer, we designed an operating model to support the sale of refurbished products.
Circular economy case studies on compliance to regulations
UBER Eats partnered with GATE C to develop an environmentally aware packaging framework for restaurants in France, and help restaurants make informed decisions for their business.
The framework is in line with the French and global guidelines, which emphasise packaging designed for reuse or recycling.
For ADEME, a French government agency, we assess the potential of packaging reuse models for 40 economic sectors. We conducted the analysis on the basis of more than 50 interviews and a review of more than 200 studies and research papers.
We developed a Reduce-Reuse-Recycle roadmap for the Fédération des Entreprises de la Boulangerie and the National Confederation of French Bakery and Pastry to phase out single-use plastic packaging by 2040. We inventoried packaging used by the bakery-pastry sector, identified problematic packaging and proposed alternative packaging, when available.
For the city of Antony in France, we evaluated the economic, social and environmental impacts of reusable packaging for school catering (food preparation, distribution and consumption).
Circular economy case studies on securing supplies
We published a study making the case for an urgent transition of the renewable energy sector to a circular economy model. The report, ‘For a Circular Energy Transition: Action Plan for Industry, Policymakers and Investors’, was requested by the Green Purposes Company, a special shareholder in the Green Investments Group.
