OUR SERVICES
5R Assessment
We take a deep dive into your portfolio and assess its current circularity level using our 5R strategy: refuse, reduce, reuse, remanufacture and recycle. Next, we define your immediate and strategic goals, and create an action plan to boost the environmental performance — and impact — of your business.
Circularity Integration
We use our expertise in materials and manufacturing engineering, environmental impact assessment, and operations management to implement circular economy principles into your business, helping you position for success in the rapidly changing landscapes of design, production, and service delivery.
SustainabilityInnovation
We conduct research and development towards improving sustainability in engineering materials, manufacturing processes, and supply chain management based on the needs of your business or the challenges hindering circularity in different industry sectors.
1.5°C
To combat climate change and to ramp up the actions needed for a sustainable future, the Paris Agreement sets the ultimate goal of limiting the average global temperature rise to 1.5°C in this century.

2050 forecast
90% Reduction
To achieve the 1.5°C goal, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced, at least, to below 5 billion tons CO2 equivalent by about 2050. The current efforts in place are far less than what is needed to meet this target.
Total Resources Entering the Global Economy
Extracted resources
Recycled resources
Used in short-life products
Circular Economy
Our course of efforts to deliver deep cuts to emissions must move us away from the traditional take-make-dispose economic model to one that rethinks materials, designs and operations to retain as much value as possible from products, parts and resources. In this circular economy, extending product lifespan, reducing the waste at the design stage, recovering and reintroducing products into the supply chain, and expanding our reliance on sustainable natural resources are key principles that inform our 5R strategy, and everything we do.
Circular Engineering
We integrate circular thinking into materials selection, product design, manufacturing processes, and operations management to keep materials at their highest utility and value at all times.
Sustainability Catalyst
We build upon our expertise in Cradle to Cradle, Circular Design, and Eco-Design guidelines to help companies improve their environmental performance and create competitive advantage.
Circularity Optimization
We employ modeling and optimization techniques to aid decision-making for implementing circular economy principles.
Impact Visibility
We use circularity calculator and life cycle assessment tools to give visibility into the environmental impact of businesses.
