The role of consumers in the circular economy.
Being more efficient with our products is not only a task for the producer but also for the consumer. Whether purchasing, using or discarding, consumers must make different choices in their role. This is essential for achieving the circular economy.
Producers must ensure that for consumers the circular choice becomes the easiest. And consumers, in turn, must take an active role in the circular economy.

Our ambition is to close the cycles of raw materials and thus bring a circular economy closer.
