The world is evolving at a rapid pace. How can we prepare for this evolution?

Businesses are facing a rapid evolution of regulations towards a different economy. The European Green Deal and its Action Plan are in full implementation and evolving regulations can become a major market barrier for companies that do not play their part.

The manufacturing industry is in the spotlight:

• How can products be adapted/redesigned so that they never become waste?
• How can profits be maintained if there is a shift from consumption to service models?
• How can industry stay aligned with existing regulations (European Green Deal, US Green Deal, and local versions of transformation towards a circular and fair economy) as well as those to come?
• How can industry respond to the demands of the market and society, which are increasingly committed to the Sustainable Development Goals?

Thanks to our over 15-year experience working with industry, we have developed methodologies that allow us to respond to these and many other needs in a tangible way.

We work from the bottom up to build a strategy for change adapted to the reality of the company and its specific context:

How? Our solutions entail a range of approaches, from optimizing chemistry and product design, to innovation in supply chain management and the production system:

• Circular Transformation: This is a program structured into three phases (Diagnosis – Plan – Action), which can be applied at different levels. Some of its characteristics are:
  • Circular product diagnosis: Assessment to understand the current product design using tools such as the Cradle to Cradle framework, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and hotspot mapping to assess the product’s design for disassembly.
  • Circular supply chain diagnosis: Understanding where the issues related to transparency, and poor environmental and/or social practices, lie. Identification of ideal partners.
  • Circular optimization roadmap: Using the results of the assessment to define strategies to plan the optimization of the circular product.
  • Development of pilot projects to test innovations.
  • LCA scope 3, C2C Certified check.
  • Implementation of Circular Making, to also integrate innovations into marketing and branding.
