YOUR CIRCULAR ROADMAP

Topics of the module

The ReSOLVE Profile

Your ReSOLVE profile is a list of the different ReSOLVE projects that you want to implement in order to reach a higher level of circularity. A ReSOLVE project is any idea that can improve the circularity of a company that can be listed under a ReSOLVE category.

Below is a list of possible ReSOLVE themes that a circular business might like to work on ordered by ReSOLVE categories.

 

 


Regenerate
It is using renewable energy power sources
It is using reusable materials
Contributes to sustain or improve the health of their ecosystem
Recovers and re-enter the biological resources to biosphere



Share
It is sharing assets (cars, spaces, machinery, etc.)
Reuses their assets or acquires them second-hand from others.
Extends the product life, through maintenance, design to last, for upgradability, etc.



Optimise
Increases the result / efficiency of the product (resources used versus performance)
Eliminates waste / garbage in production and in the supply chain
Takes advantage of big data, automation, remote sensing and acting.



Loop
Reprocesses the products or components
Recycled materials
Applies Anaerobic Digestion (wastewater treatment, biogas production, fertilizer, etc.)
Extracts biochemicals from organic waste for later use (concentrated fertilizers, etc.)


Virtualise
Uses Direct Dematerialization (Books, CDs, DBDs, travel ...)
Uses Indirect Dematerialization (online shopping, etc.)


Exchange
It replaces old non-renewable materials with advanced renewable materials.
Applies new, more efficient technologies (3D printing, electric motors, etc.)
Opts for new products more efficient services (for example, multimodal transport)

 

You would probably not implement all of the above ideas at once, but the list is meant to illustrate the possible examples in each category.
As you can see on the CBMC below, the ReSOLVE projects not only affect the Circular Building Blocks but are also listed under the other Blocks like we discussed in submodule 1.
But note that the ones listed under Value Proposition are put in the Circular categories within Value Proposition (Planet Value and Social Value).
