Implementing the principles of a circular economy in Swiss Industry

As part of an international research project, we joined forces with a number of Swiss manufacturers to ascertain what the principles of a circular economy are and to determine the extent to which these principles can be applied to the development of new value propositions for their respective enterprises.

These efforts included an examination of the potential that servitization, or the product-as-a-service model, has to improve a manufacturing enterprise’s sustainability performance.
