About this Event
In this workshop, we'll explore how circular business models can be designed and developed using the 9-R-Strategies (Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle). These strategies help businesses transition from linear to circular models, creating sustainable value and reducing waste. You’ll learn how to apply these strategies to innovate and enhance your business model for long-term success and environmental impact.
At the end of the workshop, you will:
- Understand the key principles behind the 9-R-Strategies and their relevance in building sustainable business models.
- Identify opportunities within your current or future business to implement circular strategies.
- Develop a concrete business model canvas integrating the 9-R-Strategies.
- Explore case studies of successful circular economy-driven businesses.
- Engage in hands-on activities to practice applying the strategies to real-world business challenges.
