Clearly scoped. Engineering-grade.
Three ways of working with us – each with defined deliverables, a defined timeline, and numbers you can act on.
01 – Consulting
Holistic Systems Engineering Framework™
Our closed-loop methodology for navigating complexity and unlocking actionable results, operating across two dimensions:
- Diagnostic – Observe, Identify, Map: we analyse your value chain, products and operations to pinpoint the structural leverage points, and co-develop a strategic roadmap grounded in evidence.
- Execution – Design, Implement, Sustain: we embed the solutions in your teams with tailored tools, quantified targets and hands-on support – so the capability stays after we leave.
Entry engagement
Circular Design Screening
A fixed-scope, 3–4 week assessment of one product line. You receive:
- Component-level disassembly analysis
- Recoverable material and value estimate
- Design improvements ranked by quantified savings
- Decision workshop with your team
02 – Innovation
Innovation & Research Collaboration
We help companies develop new solutions and get them funded – bridging industry and research the way we have done in EU projects.
- New methods and tools for integrating optimisation and circularity practices into your operations
- Research grants and EU projects: support with participation, proposal development and delivery (e.g. Horizon Europe and national programmes)
- University collaborations: creation and management of research projects with universities and research centres across Europe
03 – Training
Training & Workshops
Practical, up-to-date sessions that equip your team to apply circular economy thinking to real products and decisions – not slideware.
Topics: systems thinking – circular business models – circular product design – EU regulations and legislation.
Formats: keynotes and conference sessions – half-day executive workshops – one/two-day team trainings, delivered in-house or through clusters and institutions.
Where These Methods Have Delivered
Airbus – Conceptual Design for Assembly
Methodology to assess assembly performance of complex products at early design phases – demonstrating a 30% assembly-time reduction at concept stage.
Gorenje – Design for Circular Disassembly
Quantified disassembly and circularity assessment of an appliance – identifying an estimated €250,000 in losses caused by a single fastener design choice.
CircThread – Circular Economy for Enterprises
Half-day workshop with keynotes and parallel sessions on circular economy and circular product design, engaging enterprises in person and online.
How an Engagement Runs
Intro Call
A free 30-minute conversation to understand your situation and tell you honestly whether quantified circularity can create value for you.
Scoped Proposal
A short written proposal with defined deliverables, timeline and fixed price – no open-ended retainers, no surprises.
Delivery & Handover
Senior expertise on the work from day one, results presented to your team, and the tools handed over so you can continue without us.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Start with the intro call. Thirty minutes is enough to point you in the right direction – even if the direction isn't us.
