Text

A sustainable solution to challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource security requires a transition from a take-make-waste society to a circular economy. To this end, we support the various stakeholders in adapting the framework conditions and developing policy instruments, metrics and practical guidance to eliminate waste, circulate resources and regenerate nature. The implementation of resource-efficient production, circular business models and good waste management practices are at the core of our expertise.

Circularity is reshaping the daily operations of all stakeholders along the value chain. It prioritises retaining the value of materials within products and mitigating their environmental footprint. Seen as imperative for achieving the EU's 2050 climate neutrality goal and decoupling economic growth from resource consumption, the transition to circularity requires companies to grasp its demands and act fast. The adelphi Circularity Lab offers strategic counsel and technical assistance, facilitating companies in embracing and executing circular economy strategies and business models.
