Circular Economy

From material and waste flow analysis to reuse and recovery models, we build business models that keep resources in value.

Circularity Starts at the Design Stage

Most waste is the result of decisions made while a product is being designed. We map your material flows, identify where resource loss occurs, and bring reduction, reuse and recovery into the design stage.

Scope

Service Scope

  • Resource efficiency

    We map where raw material, energy and water inputs turn into losses and waste in your processes, and rank reduction, reuse and recovery opportunities by impact and feasibility. Because the recommendations rest on measured flows, they are not left to guesswork.

  • Circular product design

    We evaluate the product on material selection, ease of disassembly, repairability and recyclability, and examine the effect of design changes together. Most waste is determined while the product is being designed.

  • Industrial symbiosis

    One facility’s waste can be another facility’s raw material. Creating this match between neighbouring facilities, particularly in organised industrial zones, lowers both waste disposal and raw material costs for both sides. We compare waste and input inventories and set out the matching flows and the conditions for implementation.

  • Circular business models

    We determine which models, such as reuse, repair, refurbishment and take-back, suit your product and customer structure. For each model, we set out the revenue impact, logistics needs and pilot implementation steps.

Material and waste flow analysis

We map your resource use and waste generation points process by process.

Benefits

More Value with Fewer Resources

A circular approach lowers raw material and waste costs, while creating new revenue sources and a concrete sustainability story to tell your stakeholders.

  • Lower raw material and disposal costs
  • Preparing products for the EU market
  • Resilience against supply disruption
  • Revenue from waste

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. Recycling is actually the last step of the circular economy, coming into play after the waste has already been created. The earlier steps are more valuable: design that prevents waste from arising at all, extending the life of the product, reuse and repair.

  • The impact is most pronounced in material- and energy-intensive sectors: manufacturing, packaging, textiles, food and construction. But the starting point is not the sector; it is your material flow. Without a flow analysis, there is no way of knowing which opportunity applies to you.

  • It is the use of one facility’s waste as another facility’s raw material. Creating this match between neighbouring facilities, especially in organised industrial zones, lowers both disposal and raw material costs for both parties.
