Buy-back is just the start

Recovering materials immediately unlocks revenue and cost savings. But the opportunities from circular commerce go far beyond, shaping the design of products and packaging, improving supply chains and changing the materials we use.

By understanding how customers use products across their whole lifecycle and systematically recovering materials, we can be more creative in their design and manufacture. Allowing us to improve the customer experience and opening opportunities for innovation that have, until now, been out of reach.
