Scaling circular business models will help the EU achieve its objectives of competitiveness, circularity, resource security and resilience. However, these models have yet to be taken up widely across Europe.
Circular business models can be scaled in three main ways: scaling out (expanding customer numbers); scaling up (influencing structural conditions to support broader adoption); and scaling deep (inducing cultural and behavioural shifts).
Critical thresholds to scaling can be identified: a minimal viable scale; a niche scale; and a transformation point.
There are five key enablers for scaling: regulation and other policies; technological innovation; finance and insurance; social innovation and behavioural change; and supply-chain and ecosystem collaboration.
This is the fourth edition of the strategic environmental monitoring reports that the Basque Ecodesign Center produces based on the knowledge acquired through its monitoring system.
The report compiles the latest regulatory and market developments driving the transition towards a decarbonised, more circular economy and explores how they are relevant to the value chains in which the Basque Ecodesign Center’s partner companies operate.
It identifies new standards and recognised methodologies that are relevant to those chains and identifies ten key challenges for the circular economy for 2026, such as security of supply and self sufficiency of materials as keys to competitiveness and circularity in the new geopolitical context.
