Circular bio-economy is the oldest concept on planet Earth; since nature is based on the principles of a circular economy, nothing is lost and everything has its purpose. We humans, as part of nature, should abide by the same principles. This is logical in theory, but not so clear yet in practice and this valuable contribution is well addressing exactly this gap.

Organisations everywhere are being challenged to become more sustainable: to move from a linear ‘take-make-waste’ approach, towards one that is circular, resource productive, regenerative, and resilient in nature. But it’s hard to put into action without answers to the following questions:
- How do you overhaul your business while maintaining revenue and profits?
- How do you turn linear supply chains into circular supply loops?
- How do you identify concrete business opportunities?
- How do you design your organisation for circularity?
- How to overcome the critical challenges of implementing new business models?
This book gives you a comprehensive and practical toolkit to understand how your organisation works now, the opportunities it has within the circular economy, and how to put it all into practice effectively. Transform your organisation in a way that’s good for business, people and the environment.
