Circular Business Models
Humankind currently consumes 1.75 times the natural resources that the earth can regenerate annually. Preventing this imbalance, and its associated negative impacts means changing the way we use, consume, and produce to ensure sustainable growth over time. Implementing circular business models promotes the optimization of resources, the reduction of the consumption of raw materials and the production of waste, recycling them or giving them a new life to transform them into new products.
We help our clients to make their operations, products, and business models more circular. While scanning your value chain, we assist you to identify existing inefficiencies. We help you to develop and scale innovative solutions that capture value from circular design, product-life extension, sharing, remanufacturing and, ultimately, recycling.

Why do we need to implement circularity to out current business practices?
Our world’s circularity is only 7.2% currently. The resource consumption has tripled in the last 50 years and 70% of GHGs are directly linked to the production and consumption of materials. Circular solutions have a direct impact on the reduction of material-related emissions as well as other systemic flaws from biodiversity loss to global equality.
What are the core elements of circular economy?
Prioritizing regenerative resources, stretching the lifetime of products, and using waste a resource are the core elements of circular economy. The core elements of the circular economy relate directly to product, material, and energy flows, with the aim of cycling them to decouple value creation from resource use.
How can ATLAS support its clients regarding circular business practices?

By highlighting the most critical areas for improvement, we help companies prioritize their circular economy initiatives and focus their efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
