A New Perspective on Value: The Path to Circular Transformation

The “take-make-waste economy” is putting our planet under pressure. But there is a powerful alternative: circularity. It enables growth without depleting resources and redefines long-term value.


This whitepaper outlines five key perspectives for making circularity work in practice: from systems thinking and industrial ecology to design innovation, business models, enabling mechanisms, and behavioral change.


Drawing on real-life cases from ABN AMRO, Barco, IKEA, Knauf Insulation, and JUUNOO, it shows how leaders are embedding circularity into design, governance, finance, and operations—and why today’s actors are shaping the markets of tomorrow.


In addition to seven strategic levers for scaling transformation, you will also find recent EU policy changes that turn ambition into market reality, plus valuable insights on aligning profitability with resilience and regeneration.


Circularity is no longer optional—it is the business model for a future-proof economy. And the companies that embrace it will lead the next industrial revolution.
