Explore the Circular Product Lifecycle framework by ex-McKinsey & Big 4 consultants. Optimize resource use, reduce waste, and enhance resilience in your organization. Circular Product Lifecycle is a 27-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX) available for immediate download upon purchase.
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.
The Circular Product Lifecycle provides a practical way to identify and act on opportunities for circularity from the very beginning of a product's life through its recovery and reuse. Many organizations start with pilots that underperform because materials are lost, products are underutilized, and end-of-life systems fail to capture value. By mapping opportunities across the circular Product Lifecycle, leaders gain clarity on where to intervene, how to design enabling systems, and which risks must be managed to scale results.
This PPT presentation discusses opportunities across the Circular Product Lifecycle, which is comprised of 6 critical phases:
1. Extract Resources
2. Process Materials
3. Manufacture
4. Distribute & Retail
5. Use
6. Collect & Sort
Together, these phases illustrate how organizations can reduce waste, lower costs, and strengthen resilience by designing products and systems that keep materials in play. Each of these phase is discussed in depth. The Circular Product Lifecycle helps leaders turn fragmented Circular Economy initiatives into an integrated system that captures value from start to finish.
This PowerPoint presentation on Product Lifecycle Opportunities in the Circular Economy also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT slide explains how value creation accelerates in a circular economy through aligned operational processes and revenue models focused on durability and recovery. It introduces the Circular Strategy framework, highlighting 2 key transformations: material models and business models. Operational priorities include identifying materials and product architectures for repair, upgrade, or remanufacture, emphasizing end-to-end traceability for product identity and provenance to support reuse and recycling. Commercially, organizations should develop models that monetize asset value over time, such as outcome-based services and circular marketplaces. A visual diagram illustrates the cycle of transforming material models—regenerate, reduce, recycle, remanufacture, repair, reuse—and business models—recovery services, enabling services, anything-as-a-service. The Circular Strategy serves as a checklist for organizations to define next steps and select pricing or contract forms that enhance durability and utilization, linking profitability to operational reuse and durability as critical drivers of financial performance.
This PPT slide provides an overview of the circular economy, defined as a regenerative model focused on waste elimination and resource optimization. Key practices include recycling, reuse, remanufacturing, and refurbishment, creating a closed-loop system that retains material value and minimizes reliance on finite resources. Adopting a circular approach conserves resources, reduces raw material extraction, lowers environmental pollution, and enhances energy efficiency through renewable energy use. Core building blocks for implementation include skills in circular design, new business models, reverse cycles, and cross-sector collaboration. These elements are essential for transitioning from linear to circular systems, leading to increased profitability and reduced environmental footprint.
This PPT slide explains the Circular Economy, highlighting how circular actions within the product lifecycle can reduce inputs, extend usage, recycle materials, and regenerate resources. It outlines the product journey stages: resource extraction, processing, manufacturing, distribution, retail, use, and end-of-life, identifying sustainability improvement opportunities at each phase. Key actions include using secondary inputs and lowering energy use during extraction, designing for durability and modularity in manufacturing, optimizing logistics and rental models in distribution, and prioritizing maintenance, upgrades, recycling, and safe nutrient return at end-of-life. These interconnected actions form a structured approach to embedding circular principles into product management, transforming resource management, reducing waste, and enhancing business resilience.
This PPT slide explains the initial phase of the circular product lifecycle, focusing on resource extraction. It emphasizes responsible resource management to lower environmental impact and increase resilience. Key opportunities include substituting recycled, bio-based, or certified materials to reduce virgin extraction and designing products with lower material intensity. Creating closed-loop supply chains through take-back agreements and optimizing logistics are essential for minimizing emissions and transportation risks. Challenges include inconsistent availability and variable quality of secondary materials, along with price swings and legacy contracts favoring virgin inputs. These barriers complicate the shift toward recycled materials and require strategic management to overcome, highlighting the need for improved resource extraction practices to achieve circularity in the early lifecycle stage.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!
