Why circular economy?

For a future-oriented value creation

The industrial circular economy can make a significant contribution to the climate neutrality of the German economy by 2045. It transforms the linear 'take-make-waste' model into sustainable, closed material cycles.

Increase resource efficiency

Long-lasting, repairable products minimise the consumption of primary raw materials and reduce waste.

Close material cycles

Products remain in the economic system for longer and waste becomes a valuable secondary raw material.

Foster innovation

New business models and expanded value chains unlock new growth potential.

Reduce costs

Optimised use of resources and waste avoidance sustainably reduce operating costs.

Circular economy starts with product development

The circular economy model shows the different stages of a circular product life cycle - from sustainable development, through resource-efficient production and (re)use, to effective recycling.

A circular economy in Berlin

The circular economy approach is becoming increasingly important in Berlin. The current challenges are increasing the need for resilient, local economic cycles.

The reorganization of resource flows in Berlin requires comprehensive competencies - from product development to material selection, distribution and recycling.
