Circular strategy

Why a circular economy strategy?

Circular economy could reduce this impact while improving competitiveness

Circular economy is relevant as it offers companies the opportunity to turn inefficiencies in linear value chains into business value. These inefficiencies look beyond production waste, focusing on underutilized capacities, premature product lives, unsustainable materials, wasted end-of-life value and unexploited customer engagements.

Still circular economy adoption rate remains low.

Our approach

Identify inefficiencies

First, we understand current inefficiencies in the existing linear value chains and evaluate circularity status quo.

Map circular economy benefits

Then we assess the potential of circular business models to address existing inefficiencies.

We evaluate the business case (return on investment, risks, etc.)  for each relevant business model

Formulate the strategy

We define a circular economy strategy, integrated into the business strategy.

Build the roadmap

Circular business models can require major transformations. We identify the required capabilities needed to operate selected business models.

Finally, we design a roadmap to execute the strategy.

We help setting out clear KPIs chosen from our list of more than 100 qualified circularity indicators.

Cases studies

We formulated the circular economy strategy of one of the leading European rail carriers.

For Ermewa, one of Europe’s leading railcar leasing companies, we organized a conference on the challenges of the circular economy for rail freight transport. We raised awareness among more than 100 transport companies.

For one of Europe’s largest transport groups, we have defined an organization dedicated to the circular economy. This organization has been approved by the company’s Board of Directors.

Featured capabilities

To evaluate a company’s circularity status quo, we collect answers to approximately 100 questions.

To help our clients identify circular economy opportunities, we’ve developed a deck of cards that showcases all possible business models, products, and ecosystems for a circular economy. See sample cards.
