September Monthly Briefing: Scaling Circularity Our views on what matters |
|
Welcome to a fascinating edition of the Monthly Briefing. Our main article analyses how progress on fully implementing circularity at scale has not yet met expectations. Based on recent client work, we explore how some leaders see in circularity, opportunities for efficiency, growth and customer loyalty. And what changes in mental models are needed to move from linear to circular business models. We also share examples of our recent work harnessing the power of circularity to leapfrog competitors on sustainability, illustrating the size of the prize for those ready to jump.
Our side stories explore why accessibility is key to successful circularity, and how businesses are innovating to engage customers in circular products. We investigate how the right to repair rules may be ineffective due to lack of regulation of the pricing of repairs, and finally how innovation to recycle wind blades is the cherry on top of the proverbial circularity cake.
An insightful read all round (no pun intended).
