A Circular Economy replaces the linear "take-make-dispose" model with loops that design out waste, keep materials in use, and regenerate systems.
Circulatory reduces material use, redesigns materials and products to be less resource intensive, and recaptures waste as input for new production, decoupling material use from growth.
In practice, value circulates longer through repair, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting across technical and biological cycles. These loops extend product lifetimes, recover materials at end of use, and lower lifecycle impacts.
This PPT presentation outlines how organizations can achieve and sustain results in Circular Economy through a 3-phase Circular Strategy:
1. Scan Opportunities – Create a ranked set of options supported by transparent criteria and structured learning plans to guide early discover.
2. Select Target Segments – Convert the most promising opportunities into funded bets with clear charters, defined accountabilities, and measurable outcomes.
3. Scale Initiatives – Deliver operating performance and unit economics at enterprise thresholds, ensuring reliability, cost efficiency, and resilience at scale.
Circular Strategy turns Circular Economy principles into enterprise performance by combining vision, action, and disciplined scale-up. This deck digs deep into each of these 3 phases of Circular Strategy, including inputs, outputs, risks, and guardrails. Other topics discussed in the presentation include challenges and obstacles impeding delivery of value through circularity, and their respective mitigation strategies.
This PowerPoint presentation on Circular Strategy framework also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
