Circular economy
Econocom takes concrete action to meet the challenges
of the circular economy.
Goodbye throwaway society.
Hello sustainable society!
The circular economy is a sustainable model in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extracting maximum value whilst in use, prioritising access over ownership, and recycling materials to create further value.
In recent years, hundreds of circular projects have been launched in our country.
However, many of these projects are still at the experimental stage and do not generate economies of scale, partly because of the lack of innovative financing. Many companies and public authorities still do not know how to finance circular projects and as-a-service models.
Transitioning from the wasteful ‘take, make, dispose’ linear operating model to a more responsible
all-encompassing economy.

Circular economy: could an “as-a-service” help the environment?
As-a-service models allow companies to finance circular economy efforts without incurring huge initial costs. It includes not just sustainability solutions, but it may also assist to balance investment by reducing expenditure while satisfying the company's goals.
How the circular economy can help businesses become sustainable
Embracing a circular economy mindset is about keeping resources and assets for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them, favouring access to services over ownership and regenerating materials to create further value.
