Circular economy business models for the manufacturing industry

This playbook is tailored to companies in the Finnish manufacturing industry, giving detailed examples for the following four sub-sectors:

Machinery & Equipment, (2) Marine, (3) Energy and (4) Transportation

It specifically addresses companies that want to:

• Better meet customer expectations and deliver customer outcomes
• Enable outcome-oriented solutions and new levels of efficiency through technology and digitalisation
• Improve resource utilisation and mitigate risk from regulatory, investor and societal pressures

The playbook calls for action by:

• Describing the rationale for why circular economy is relevant (Chapter 1)
• Identifying circular business models with highest value potential per sub-sector (Chapters 2 & 6)
• Outlining required organisational and operational changes (Chapters 3 & 4)
• Providing a blueprint of a transformation journey for companies to achieve circular advantage (Chapter 5)
