Key Learnings
Transparency is the key
- To manage nutrients in the circular economy, it’s required the collaboration of all stakeholders.
- Knowing the toxicity profile of product components allows companies to address problems in the right way and time.
Circular Business Model
- When you know a product composition and cyclability path you can quantify its potential residual value, as long as its quality is protected.
- Circularity is only possible if exist a tracking system in place (Circular Passport + Resource Management Platform).
Other
Grouping too many families in one certificate makes results less accurate (global result is always the worst case).
