Circular Business Model Types

Circular Supply Models

Replacing finite scarce raw materials with renewable, recyclable or biodegradable inputs at the start of the production process

Resource Recovery Models

reclaiming, recycling, or reprocessing waste from production and end-of-life goods to turn waste back into valuable inputs or energy.

Product life extension modles

Prolonging the operational lifespan of existing products through durable designs, repairs, upgrades, or remanufacturing rather than replacement

Sharing Models

Maximizing product utilization rates by allowing multiple users to share access to or co-own an item rather than practicing individual ownership

Product service system

Selling the result, use experience, or service of a product, ( leasing, renting or subscriptions) while the business retains ownership of the physical asset.
