Circular Economy
Optimizing design, production, usage, repair and recycling to extend products and materials’ lifecycle.
Our expertise and our convictions
Switching from linear economy to circular economy requires to rethink our value chains entirely with a holistic approach. Until now, revenues of most businesses were coming from increasing sale volumes; circular economy implies to find new value pools that maintain the profitability of the business while consuming less resources overall.
Companies who embrace this change and rethink their business models first, becoming leaders in circular design, new materials, repair and recycling, sharing and intelligence platforms, or dedicated financial products, will capture this value.
