Did you know that we at Circular Business Lab help companies evaluate design concepts from a circular perspective? We can do this on an early concept stage before you invest too many resources in product development. By including the full life cycle, this ensures that you can take informed decisions leading to resource efficient products and services.

We know how crucial it is to integrate circular principles early in the process. Our iterative approach based on the Circular Compass framework helps assessing concepts to understand life cycle benefits and potential showstoppers of multiple concept directions. It helps identifying requirements, recognizing obstacles and unveiling further opportunities as well as considering future regulations.

Concepts can, on an early stage, vary substantially. They could encompass anything from business as usual with a facelift of current product, to designing a new product for take back and PAAS models. It can be difficult to compare and understand the real benefits or traps with going in those different directions. Assessing concepts from a circular perspective early, enables informed decisions and lead to more efficient resource use.

In the Circular Business Lab, with the full expertise of RISE at hand, we can ensure that we bring in the best experts regardless of product category. Our expertise and methodology provide a solid foundation for companies to build on, ensuring their products and services are both environmentally and economically sustainable.
