We know why a circular economy needs to happen. We know what needs to happen. But how do we make this happen? Circular, But How? takes you behind closed doors to the stories of practitioners, who have found solutions on how to make circular economy happen in their businesses and brings you hands-on knowledge from leading researchers in the field. It offers a glimpse into the diverse experiences and challenges of practitioners implementing circular economy and provides key explanations on how to make circular economy happen - for different products, sectors, or businesses.

    Episode 04: How to decouple profit from environmental impacts with Daniel Böckin

    Daniel Böckin is about to finalize his PhD on environmental assessment of circular solutions at Chalmers Technical University in Gothenburg, Sweden! A great moment to share his knowledge and critically discuss the challenges of truly decoupling environmental impacts from profits through circular solutions. If you are curious how to look at environmental impacts and financial value in circular business model design more systematically, listen in and hear Daniel explain his new method - The Business Model LCA - that helps assess whether a circular business model design results in decoupling or not, taking the example of a Swedish company that is shifting from sales to rent of outdoor gear. 01:00 An introduction to the idea of decoupling in a circular economy // 01:50 Is the idea of decoupling in a circular economy enough to address the environmental crises we experience? // 04:20 Why should businesses care about decoupling their environmental impacts from profit generation? // 06:09 The importance of focusing on environmental impact reduction when designing circular solutions // 06:44 Hear about Daniel’s PhD journey // 07:46 Businesses Daniel consulted during his PhD // 10:37 Why is it sometimes not enough to only do a life cycle assessment? // 12:00 Why profit generation is a good basis of comparison to assess decoupling of circular business models? // 13:00 An example of a case study of a rental model for outdoor gear // 14:48 Daniel’s summary of the Business Model LCA method// 16:45 Daniel’s suggestion for tools and softwares to help develop circular business models // 18:38 Hear Daniel’s call for action.

    Episode 03: How to make single use products circular with Lyndsey Parette from DUNI

    Lyndsey Parette, Environmental Coordinator at DUNI, shares how circular economy can be applied to single use and disposable products. Duni is Scandinavia's market leader in take-away solutions and single-use tableware, but single use products are not really what we strive for in a circular economy. It is very unlikely though that we can get rid of all single use products. But how can these be made more 'circular' and less impactful? Hear about Lindsey's experiences with reducing the environmental impact of single use products through circular economy approaches. 03:10 Duni's products// 04:17 Why circular economy is important for Duni// 05:00 Challenges of applying circular economy to single use products// 05:50 Different strategies for applying circular economy to single use products// 07:05 Sustainability challenges of compostable products // 08:50 Success criteria for developing circular solutions// 09:50 How to balance between different performance criteria of products (e.g. sustainability, affordability, etc.) // 11:30 How to understand what happens with products at the end-of-life? // 13:45 Defining what circular economy and sustainability means for one's organisation // 14:50 Circular economy in global value chains // 17:55 Lindsey's recommendations for tools for circular innovation// 24:40 Lindsey's call for action.

    Episode 02: How to choose a circular economy strategy with Prof. Anne-Marie Tillman

    Prof. Anne-Marie Tillman, co-author of the book a 'Hitchhikers' Guide to LCA' and Professor for Environmental Systems Analysis at Chalmers University in Gothenburg in Sweden, explains how looking at product characteristics can help choose a circular economy strategy that reduces the product's environmental footprint. If you have felt that the waste hierarchy (Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Recover, Dispose) is of limited guidance to identify a suitable circular economy strategy, you may want to listen in and hear how understanding product characteristics can help you make the right decision. 04:20 Why is the waste hierarchy insufficient guidance to make products more circular? // 05:05 Why is it important to look at product characteristics when choosing a circular economy strategy? // 07:20 How can different types of products be classified? // 09:00 What are the different circular economy strategies? // 15:27 Which circular economy strategies fit which type of product? // 19:05 How to combine different circular economy strategies? // 20:37 How to use Anne-Marie’s framework as guidance? // 21:45 The importance of considering environmental trade-offs of each circular economy strategies // 23:05 Anne-Marie’s call for action
