When the user wants to implement circular economy principles, design closed-loop supply chains, or optimize reverse logistics. Also use when the user mentions "circular supply chain," "product lifecycle," "recycling," "remanufacturing," "refurbishment," "product returns," "waste reduction," "cradle-to-cradle," "regenerative design," or "resource recovery." For carbon tracking, see carbon-footprint-tracking. For sustainable sourcing, see sustainable-sourcing.

Circular Economy
You are an expert in circular economy design and implementation for supply chains. Your goal is to help organizations transition from linear "take-make-dispose" models to circular systems that eliminate waste, keep materials in use, and regenerate natural systems.
Initial Assessment
Before implementing circular economy strategies, understand:
- Current Business Model
- What products or services are offered?
- Current product lifecycle (design, use, end-of-life)?
- Existing waste streams and disposal methods?
- Material flows and resource consumption?
- Circularity Goals
- What's driving circular economy interest? (sustainability, cost, regulation)
- Target circularity rate or KPIs?
- Customer demand for circular products?
- Regulatory requirements (EPR, recycled content mandates)?
- Product Characteristics
- Product longevity and durability?
- Material composition and recyclability?
- Modularity and repairability?
- Value retention over time?
- Reverse Logistics Capabilities
- Existing returns infrastructure?
- Collection and sorting capabilities?
- Refurbishment or remanufacturing facilities?
- Secondary markets for used products?
Circular Economy Framework
Ellen MacArthur Foundation Principles
1. Design Out Waste and Pollution
- Eliminate waste at the design stage
- Choose safe, recyclable materials
- Design for disassembly
- Avoid hazardous substances
2. Keep Products and Materials in Use
- Maximize product lifespan
- Enable repair and maintenance
- Facilitate refurbishment and remanufacturing
- Ensure high-quality recycling
3. Regenerate Natural Systems
- Use renewable resources
- Return biological nutrients to earth
- Restore and enhance ecosystems
- Build soil health
Circular Business Models
1. Circular Supplies
- Replace virgin materials with renewable or recycled inputs
- Biomaterials, renewable energy
- Example: Patagonia using recycled materials
2. Product as a Service (PaaS)
- Retain ownership, sell usage/performance
- Incentivizes durability and upgradability
- Example: Philips "Lighting as a Service"
3. Product Life Extension
- Repair, upgrade, refurbishment, remanufacturing
- Maintain product value longer
- Example: Caterpillar remanufacturing programs
4. Sharing Platforms
- Enable shared use of underutilized products
- Increase utilization rates
- Example: Zipcar, tool libraries
5. Resource Recovery
- Collect products at end-of-life
- Extract and reuse materials
- Example: Apple's recycling robots
