Circular Economy
We support the implementation and quantification of the products, processes and organisation circularity, promoting efficient life cycle management. From the current diagnosis to the development and implementation of projects, we leverage solutions to make value chains more circular and digital, analyze the business models and provide circularity and sustainability indicators, strengthening green and digital transition.
Circular Strategies and Business Models
- Extension of the Life Cycle (remanufacturing, repairing, maintenance, reuse, retrofitting, reconditioning, upgrade, etc.)
- Waste Recycling and Recovery
- Industrial Symbiosis, Dematerialization and Servitization
Life Cycle Management
- Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
- Life Cycle Thinking
- Systems, Data, Methodologies and Processes
Metrics and Circularity Indicators
- Product and Technologies (Life Cycle Cost (LCC), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), carbon footprint)
- Process and Organization (KPIs, circularity)
- Sustainable Financing and Taxonomy
Digitization for Circularity
- Tools to support the tracking, quantification and visualization of circularity (such as the Materials/Products Digital Passport)
Circular Value Chains
- Operations (Lean Green)
- Supply Chain
- Procurement/Purchases
Integrated Resource Efficiency
- Action Plans for Integrated Resource Efficiency and Integration of Renewable Energy and Gases
