From a global standpoint, transitioning from a linear to a circular economy is profoundly important. But while it’s a key environmental goal, this same switch to circularity, made at the business level, can also bring huge commercial benefits.
Secure access to raw materials is a prevalent risk factor for manufacturers. A circular economy strategy, beginning with reducing, reusing and recycling, can help you limit your external dependencies and improve your business resilience. Part or full reclamation of end-of-life products in particular can be pivotal in escaping resource uncertainty.
