The “Circular Business Models” Guideline
This guideline examines business model approaches that enable a shift from linear sales models towards circular value creation in the office furniture sector. It presents concepts such as product-as-a-service, leasing, take-back systems, refurbishment models and other strategies that keep products and materials in use for longer.
The document helps manufacturers, service providers, public buyers and other market actors understand how circular business models can be structured, financed and implemented in practice. It outlines key opportunities, challenges and enabling conditions for building economically viable models that support circularity across the value chain.
