Circular Economy
Circular Strategy
Global material use is set to double by 2060 (OECD). At the same time, companies are already confronted with resource scarcity, price volatility and supply chain disruptions. Access to essential materials is no longer guaranteed.
These pressures are driving companies to reduce dependency on virgin resources and strengthen resilience through circular business models. By moving from the linear “take–make–dispose” model to circular thinking, businesses can secure access to materials, lower costs, and open new value streams.
At TOSCA, we help organizations define and build commercially viable circular strategies — rooted in real-world implementation.
Our services include:
- Circularity Quick Scan – Identify the most promising opportunities in your business model and operations.
- Value Chain Analysis – Map material flows and uncover opportunities for circular innovation.
- Business Case Development – Assess costs and benefits from a strategic, financial and stakeholder perspective.
- Supply Chain Collaboration – Develop partnerships to close material loops.
- Circular R-Ladder Integration – Apply strategies such as Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, and Recycle, with design principles like product-as-a-service or design for disassembly.
- Product Return Schemes – Design take-back or reuse systems that generate long-term value.
We combine strategic insight with operational know-how to turn circular ambition into business results.
Circular Implementation
Defining a circular strategy is one thing — implementing it successfully is another. Companies face practical questions such as:
- How can we extend product lifespans (maintenance, repair) in a viable way?
- What’s the best way to design return or reuse channels?
- Which technical, economic, or regulatory barriers stand in the way — and how can we overcome them?
- How do we measure progress and communicate impact to stakeholders?
TOSCA helps companies translate strategy into results, drawing on experience in sectors like construction, textiles, infrastructure, consumer goods, and dairy. From piloting return schemes to redesigning products for reuse, we help you identify what works, avoid dead ends, and move forward with confidence.
“Circular entrepreneurship is now becoming a truly interesting strategy for future-proof businesses. Previously, we saw frontrunners who made their core business more sustainable, but now the costs and risks of the supply chain are coming into play.”
— Mark Groot Wassink, Associate Partner TOSCA
