Our freelance circular economy consultants develop circular strategies that go beyond mere statements of intent: They analyze material flows, identify opportunities for recovery and recycling throughout the entire value chain, and translate these into concrete actions—from product design guidelines and supplier contracts to sustainability reports in accordance with the EU Taxonomy or CSRD. This provides companies with a solid foundation for investment decisions, tenders, and communication with regulators and investors.
Typically, our freelance circular economy consultants are engaged when regulatory requirements such as the CSRD or the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act create concrete pressure to act, when product lines are to be converted to use recycled materials or to be made repairable, or when a company is developing a circular economy strategy for the first time and requires external expertise. The sooner this step is taken, the lower the adjustment costs and regulatory risk.
