Paper Bank financing of MASCO - Triodos

How can the circular economy be financed through banks?

This paper explores how innovative models—the Circular Discount Model and the Circular Leasing Model—can support the reusability of building materials, and what conditions banks apply in this context.

The analysis examines:

• the role of Masco and SPV companies within the financing structure,

• the criteria banks use to assess credit applications,

• the feasibility of both models from a risk and return perspective.

The study concludes that the Circular Leasing Model offers potential for bank financing, while the Circular Discount Model still faces too many limitations under current market conditions.
