Product and service

In a circular economy, everything is about value retention. Good product design ensures that you can reuse products, components and materials again and again at a high value. With smart services and processes, you also create a more intensive and long-term involvement with all players in the chain: from supplier to end user. Thinking about all life phases of a product is essential here. This starts with Rethinking your product or service and making well-considered material choices and extends to user behavior and end-of-life solutions for optimal value retention.
