Our circularity approach: use better, use longer, use again
The way humanity produces and consumes is responsible for 45% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to Ellen MacArthur Foundation. But did you know that in practice, we could fulfill our needs with only 70% of extracted resources?
There is a need to switch from a linear business model - take-make-waste - to a circular one, preserving virgin resources and where waste becomes new resources.
Circular principles, such as eco-design, sustainable sourcing, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling, and 'as-a-service' paradigms, offer new business opportunities and significant benefits to planet and society. Discover our end-to-end circularity approach.
