Currently, <a href=\"https:\/\/ineditinnova.com\/en\/la-circularitat-global-cau-un-22-en-els-darrers-deu-anys\/\">only 6.9% of the materials we use worldwide come from recycled sources<\/a>, while the rate of extraction and consumption remains far above recycling capacity, as warned by the <strong><em>Circularity Gap Report 2025<\/em><\/strong>. The same report points out that <strong>increasing recycling will not be enough: the system needs to be rethought from the beginning, applying circular design principles to products.<\/strong> This means &#8220;designing them to last longer, be easily repairable, reusable, and remanufacturable,&#8221; says <strong>Jordi Oliver<\/strong>, CEO of in\u00e8dit.<br><br>To ensure a viable future, we must transition from a linear economic model to a circular one, which will entail changes throughout the entire production process: design, logistics, product lifespan, consumer behaviour, regulations, education, and the need for innovation. <strong>The key to achieving this is by implementing and scaling circular business models.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>To ensure a viable future, we must transition from a linear economic model to a circular one, which will entail changes throughout the entire production process<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Doing so can bring major benefits. In the fashion sector, for example, implementing models such as rental, resale, repair, or remanufacturing could represent a potential market of $73 billion by 2030\u201423% of the global fashion market\u2014according to the report <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org\/fashion-business-models\/overview\">Circular Business Models: Redefining Growth for a Thriving Fashion Industry<\/a><\/em> (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">However, <strong>as Jordi Oliver, CEO of in\u00e8dit, points out<\/strong>, <strong>&#8220;the great challenge will be moving from a starting point made up of a constellation of disconnected success stories to embracing the idea of a business ecosystem<\/strong> in which the entire value chain works towards common goals, with cooperation as an essential path forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>What are circular business models?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Circular business models based on <em>servitisation<\/em>, also known as the <em>performance economy<\/em>, involve offering the use or functionality of a product as a service rather than selling it as a physical good. In this model, the manufacturer or provider retains ownership of the product and manages its entire lifecycle, taking responsibility for its performance, maintenance, and end-of-life.<br><br>This economic structure creates clear incentives to design more durable, repairable, and reusable products, because the longer they stay in service generating income, the greater the economic and environmental benefits. Innovation is thus directed toward smart solutions that maximise usage value over time, through activities such as predictive maintenance, remanufacturing, and rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>In circular business models, innovation is geared towards smart solutions that maximise <strong>use value over time<\/strong>, through activities such as <strong>predictive maintenance<\/strong>, <strong>remanufacturing<\/strong>, and <strong>rental<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">This approach enables the <em>dematerialisation<\/em> of the economy by decoupling wealth creation from resource consumption and promoting intensive use of knowledge and local labour over material resources. As a result, it generates employment and reduces environmental impacts. Furthermore, it encourages a cultural shift towards taking care of products, where time becomes a key factor in the economic and ecological sustainability of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">In the circular economy, value creation is based on keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">There are <strong>five circular business strategies<\/strong>. In a circular business model, companies may adopt just one, but combining two or more has much greater potential to generate value:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>1. Circular inputs<\/strong><br>Conventional materials are replaced with renewable or recycled resources, reducing reliance on virgin raw materials and preventing waste generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>2. Sharing platforms<\/strong><br>These promote the collaborative use of assets among multiple users to avoid underutilisation. Examples include car-sharing platforms or tool-lending schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>3. <strong>Product-as-a-service<\/strong><\/strong><br>Customers do not purchase the product but use it temporarily through a rental or subscription service. The company retains ownership of the product and optimises its use and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>4. <strong>Product life extension<\/strong><\/strong><br>With proper design, products can be repaired, upgraded, reused, remanufactured, or resold to extend their life cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>5. <strong>Resource recovery<\/strong><\/strong><br>Consisteix a recuperar materials valuosos de productes al final de la seva vida \u00fatil. Inclou el reciclatge o la venda de subproductes a altres empreses que els poden reutilitzar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Challenges in implementing circular business models<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">This strategy involves recovering valuable materials from products at the end of their life. It includes recycling or selling by-products to other companies that can reuse them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The implementation of circular business models faces major challenges, as the regulatory, financial, and cultural framework in which many companies operate is designed for a linear system that often <strong>penalises circular alternatives<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Despite the environmental, economic, and social benefits that circular business models can offer, scaling them up still faces significant challenges.<br>Many companies operate within regulatory, financial, and cultural frameworks designed for a linear system, which often penalises circular alternatives. Current incentives reward the production and consumption of new products over maintenance, reuse, or repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Moreover, supply chains are optimised for volume and speed, not for traceability and value recovery. Cultural and organisational barriers must also be overcome: circularity requires a new way of thinking and operating\u2014one that prioritises collaboration over competition and shared value flows over immediate profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Jordi Oliver, CEO of in\u00e8dit: \u201cFor these models to thrive, a systemic transformation is needed\u2014one that involves everything from design and public policies to financing, taxation, and people\u2019s education and training.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">According to Jordi Oliver, \u201cfor these models to thrive, a systemic transformation is needed\u2014one that involves everything from design and public policy to finance, taxation, and education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Some success stories<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Several companies have embraced circular business models. Canon, for instance, manufactures remanufactured multifunction copiers from used machines. Since 1992, it has received equipment at its remanufacturing centre in Giessen, Germany, where the devices are assessed and disassembled. Reusable parts are cleaned, tested, and used to build new machines that meet the same quality and performance standards as 100% new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">In Mondrag\u00f3n, in the Basque Country, there&#8217;s COPRECI, a supplier of components and solutions for the home appliance industry. As part of the LIFE WEEELOOP project, the company has implemented a circular economy-based system for managing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Their goal is to recover 90% of materials and components from cooktops and reuse them in other appliances. This has been made possible through the implementation of advanced technologies for extraction, ecodesign, and traceability, as well as the development of the first Digital Passport for recovered components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">in\u00e8dit has supported several companies in designing new business models. One such case is Iberital, a company that designs, manufactures, and sells espresso machines, grinders, and spare parts for the hospitality and catering industry. Thanks to a project with in\u00e8dit, they created <a href=\"https:\/\/ineditinnova.com\/en\/iberital-anew-la-primera-maquina-de-cafe-circular-premi-2023-rezero-catalunya-en-la-categoria-dempresa\/\">a circular coffee machine\u2014<strong>Iberital Anew<\/strong><\/a>\u2014which is repairable, made of durable, high-quality materials, and designed in a modular way to facilitate remanufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Within the <a href=\"https:\/\/ineditinnova.com\/en\/casos\/designing-a-system-to-recover-hotel-carpets-at-the-end-of-their-lifecycle\/\">\u201cBack to Rug\u201d<\/a> project, in\u00e8dit designed a system to recover carpets from ROLS hotels at the end of their life cycle. Once recovered, the carpets are sanitised and\/or refurbished\u2014sometimes given artistic value, making them unique and distinctive. This reduces carpet-related waste, extends product life, and enables material recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">For <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ineditinnova.com\/en\/casos\/una-nova-linia-de-negoci-basada-en-la-servititzacio-per-oferir-solucions-acustiques-mes-circulars\/\">Absotec<\/a><\/strong>, a company that designs and manufactures acoustic conditioning solutions, in\u00e8dit guided and supported the team in conceiving, defining, and validating a new business line\u2014from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives. This involved a <strong>servitisation strategy<\/strong> through short-term rental (pay-per-use) and long-term rental (subscription-based) models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">In addition to these projects, in\u00e8dit is currently working on the development of <strong>modular furniture<\/strong> in collaboration with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/aclk?sa=l&amp;ai=DChsSEwjkmNvSz4mOAxVGmmgJHULyJh0YACICCAEQMxoCd2Y&amp;co=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwmenCBhA4EiwAtVjzmuERwb7HPBkynq2HJ8746O8XQsrZKUql67KlSFuVovkBkEFeGfydXhoCAZAQAvD_BwE&amp;category=acrcp_v1_48&amp;sig=AOD64_2dtnv9ElL3VLBI1miW-EaGB_s_5Q&amp;q&amp;adurl&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiIztbSz4mOAxV8TqQEHUbiBRgQ0Qx6BAhBEAE\">Kave Home<\/a><\/strong>, and is a partner in a project led by the <strong>Catalan Waste Cluster (CREC)<\/strong> that is exploring new circular business models around <strong>construction and demolition waste (CDW)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Towards a new business culture<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Circular technologies and innovative business models are essential to enable a circular economy\u2014but they are not enough on their own.
