Circular Economy

Circular Economy

ERM empowers clients to design, make and market sustainable products and services, by combining innovative portfolio management strategies with circular economy practices.

Circular economy drivers and regulations intensify

There is an imperative to decouple economic growth from resource consumption. Embracing circularity and product innovation can help convert operational constraints into market differentiators.

The growing threat of raw material shortages can be mitigated by transitioning to a circular economy. Promoting the use of sustainable resources and innovative manufacturing techniques creates more resilient supply chains.

A rise in policies and regulations mandating sustainable practices means more organizations are exploring circularity, with earlier adopters gaining a competitive advantage.

The convergence of consumer demand for sustainable products with ESG investment priorities is accelerating the transition to a circular economy. This shift is being supported with dedicated investments.
