How can businesses achieve growth while preserving natural resources? The answer lies in Circular Business Models—a revolutionary approach to rethinking value creation and sustainability. Module 4 of our course dives deep into circular strategies, tools, and real-world applications to help businesses transition successfully.
What You’ll Learn:
🔄 From Linear to Circular Thinking
Traditional “take-make-dispose” models lead to waste and depletion. Circular Business Models aim to close the loop by designing systems that minimize waste, reuse materials, and optimize efficiency. Tools like the Business Model Canvas help businesses map and redesign their strategies with circularity in mind.
💡 Innovating Your Business Model
Circular transformation starts with rethinking how businesses deliver value—shifting perspectives to prioritize sustainability, efficiency, and long-term impact.
