Circular Business Models

The goal is to decouple resource consumption from value creation. The Shift to Service-Based Models promotes equipment leasing, renting, and "equipment as-a-service" with included maintenance, thereby extending product lifecycles and shifting the burden of end-of-life management to the manufacturer. Concurrently, the Enable Sharing Platforms field focuses on developing regional and internal digital marketplaces to facilitate the sharing and exchange of underutilized medical equipment, lab equipment, and chemical inventories between companies and institutions, maximizing the utility of existing assets.
