Pentatonic: leading the world into the circular economy.

What began as a direct-to-consumer product business has evolved to become the world’s foremost circularity transformation platform.

Pentatonic, our journey.

Pentatonic accelerates the shift to a circular economy by helping companies change the way they design, manufacture, sell and recapture products. Our platform integrates deep circularity knowledge, circular design expertise, proprietary supply chain management software and reverse logistics services into a single solution.

We’re in business to make circularity tangible.

The circular economy is about rebirth and renewal: from textiles that can be broken down to fibers and rewoven into clothing to materials that compost and re-enter the cycle of nature – and the business models that make these many re’s a reality. Circularity is the economy of life.
Our mission is to make circularity easy for the world’s leading brands. It is their activities which impact Earth most. And herein lies the opportunity for scaled change.

People

Pentatonic is more than just a platform. Our in-house globally experienced team includes experts in materials science, industrial design, manufacturing, branding and marketing, behaviour design, supply chain management with reverse logistics and corporate strategy.
The globally experienced team has hands-on experience designing, producing, selling, tracking, and recapturing products across the entire commercial lifecycle.

We can guide corporations because we’ve done it ourselves. 

We work with an extensive network of suppliers, subject experts, and technology development teams on a flexible basis. Every one of our team members is dedicated to accelerating the transition to the circular economy as fast as possible, and achieving the greatest impact by transforming how multinationals do business.
