Circular Economy Transformation Canvas
Workshop canvas for circular economy transformation: actors, drivers, target vision, and measures.
PURPOSE
The Circular Economy Transformation Canvas supports organizations in systematically planning the transition from linear to circular business models. It helps structure the complexity of circular economy transformation and consider all relevant dimensions. The tool is particularly valuable for companies that want to operationally implement sustainability rather than just strategically declare it.
HOW TO USE
The canvas is filled out in a workshop with relevant actors from various areas of the organization. First, the participating actors and drivers of the transformation are identified. Then a target vision for the organization's circular economy is developed and concrete measures are derived. The result is a shared understanding and an action plan for the circular economy transformation.
WHAT IT IS
The Circular Economy Transformation Canvas is a workshop-based canvas tool with fields for actors, drivers, target vision, and measures of the circular economy transformation. It is based on circular economy principles such as Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Regenerate. The canvas provides a visual workspace that brings together all relevant dimensions of the transformation at a glance.
EXAMPLE
Example: You head the sustainability department of a furniture manufacturer and want to move away from the linear take-make-dispose model. With the Circular Economy Transformation Canvas, you identify take-back systems, material loops, and new business models like furniture-as-a-service.
