What do we mean?

The circular economy means transforming the way we produce and consume. This model extends the life of products by maximising the use of resources through sharing, reuse, repair, renovation and recycling. The results are fewer raw materials used, less waste produced and sustainable added value at every stage.

What about your company?

By integrating these principles into your business model, you can not only improve your competitiveness but also open up new avenues for growth and innovation.

Four major circular economy models

rent instead of selling

Stop selling your products - rent them!

Stop selling your products - rent them instead! By offering your customers regular access to your products through rental or subscription, you can transform one-off transactions into long-term, loyal relationships while guaranteeing recurring revenue.

Reuse and repair

Reuse and repair

Why produce something new when you can extend the life of your existing products? Focusing on reuse, repair or renovation reduces production costs while offering customers a high-performance, sustainable solution.

Upcycling

Upcycling

Make new out of old, but better! Transform your used materials or products into high-value-added products. Not only is upcycling a creative and innovative approach, it is also an excellent way of attracting customers and setting your company apart in the marketplace.

Sharing economy

Sharing economy

Pool your resources with other companies to maximise their use, thus reducing your costs. Sharing vehicles or equipment cuts costs and avoids the need to invest. The sharing economy also makes it possible to develop new offers and access new markets, optimising profitability.
