Circularity is key to minimising waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.
At Schneider Electric, we have chosen to adopt end-to-end circularity by leveraging innovation and changing our offer creation, product design, and manufacturing to use better, use longer, and use again.
The benefits of circular economy
Saves cost by optimising resource usage, reducing waste and reusing material, fosters innovation and improves supply chain resilience.
Fosters transparency by complying with increasingly stringent regulations and reporting requirements worldwide.
Leads to elimination of waste and pollution, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and nature preservation and regeneration.
