Circular economy

In enabling the green transition, it is crucial to address product life extension, reuse, and the recycling of waste, circular business models can reduce consumption and minimise waste generation. They allow products to be continuously used, reused, sold as a service, and enable the sharing of products, rather than incentivising a one-time purchase.
