The current economy's unsustainable practices have severe environmental and economic consequences, with 91% of extracted resources going to waste and production processes risking depletion of virgin feedstock. The circular economy offers a transformative approach, shifting from the linear "take-make-waste" model to one that maximizes resource use and minimizes waste and environmental impact. The good news? All businesses can adopt circular economy principles with the right frameworks and strategies in place and here's your chance to learn how.
CIRCO has made it their mission to drive the development of circular economies around the world. In collaboration with the Technical University of Delft, they've developed a unique methodology to help entrepreneurs and creative professionals to take their first step towards circularity. The CIRCO methodology introduces the five circular business models alongisde six circular design strategies applied across different industries.
