Five Stages of Circular On-site

  • Define boundaries and understand context for circular opportunities.

  • Translate vision into clear objectives, measurable targets, and safeguards.

  • Design options, models, and roadmaps for circular transition.

  • Build capabilities, test pilots, and prepare for scaling.

  • Measure results, learn continuously, and ensure transparent disclosure.

01

SCANNING

Why is "SCANNING" an essential first step in a circular economy transition?
In many organizations, information about resources, products, and supply chains is scattered across different departments. Without a systematic overview, companies often find it difficult to understand their true circular potential or determine where to begin.
In the SCANNING stage, Circular On-site helps organizations define the analytical scope, review existing practices, and map resource flows across the value chain. Through structured data collection and hotspot analysis, companies can build a shared understanding and identify the most relevant opportunities for circular transformation.

  • Step 1

    Scope Definition

    Define the analytical boundary at the product or organizational level.

  • Step 2

    System Mapping

    Collect and analyze data related to circularity across the value chain.

  • Step 3

    Hotspot Identification

    Identify key risks and opportunities to prioritize circular actions.

FRAMING

After understanding the organization's current situation and circular potential, the next key question becomes:
How can circular economy be integrated into the company's long-term strategy?
At this stage, many organizations face several challenges:
How should circular economy align with the company's mission and business objectives?
Which directions deserve priority investment?
How can indicators and data systems be established to ensure that strategies can be monitored and managed effectively?

In the FRAMING stage, Circular On-site helps organizations translate insights from the previous stage into a clear strategic framework. Through collaboration with internal teams and stakeholders, companies progressively establish a circular vision, strategic themes, and measurable targets. At the same time, a basic data structure and strategic safeguards are introduced to ensure that circular transition progresses in a stable and compliant manner.

  • Step 1

    Vision and Principles

    Define the organization's vision and mission for circular transition and align them with core circular economy principles.

  • Step 2

    Strategic Themes

    Translate the vision into actionable strategic directions and confirm alignment with key stakeholders.

  • Step 3

    Targets and Indicators

    Establish measurable circular indicators with clear quantitative targets.

  • Step 4

    Data Foundation

    Set up an initial data pipeline, specifying indicator definitions, data sources, responsibilities, and update frequency.

  • Step 5

    Strategic Safeguards

    Define financial thresholds, compliance requirements, and supplier sustainability criteria to ensure strategies remain viable and aligned with governance requirements.

03

PLANNING

When planning circular initiatives, companies frequently encounter several challenges:
  • Uncertainty about which solutions are technically and economically viable.
  • Limited clarity about the expected benefits of implementation.
  • Difficulty identifying potential partners across the value chain.

In the PLANNING stage, Circular On-site supports organizations in developing a portfolio of circular solutions based on earlier findings. Technical, operational, and financial feasibility assessments are conducted to translate ideas into implementable initiatives. This process may also involve redesigning products, adjusting supply chain collaborations, and exploring new value creation models.

  • Step 1

    Option Development

    Generate a portfolio of potential circular strategies.

  • Step 2

    Design Translation

    Transform circular principles into concrete design specifications.

  • Step 3

    Value Creation Model

    Explore adjustments to value propositions and revenue structures.

  • Step 4

    Feasibility Assessment

    Evaluate technical, organizational, and financial feasibility.

  • Step 5

    Action Roadmap

    Develop a clear implementation roadmap and pilot plan.

04

ACTING

At this stage, the organization has developed a clear circular strategy and action roadmap.
The focus now shifts to turning plans into real actions.
In the ACTING stage, Circular On-site supports organizations in building the necessary capabilities, coordinating cross-departmental collaboration, and launching pilot initiatives. Through iterative testing, operational data collection, and continuous refinement, circular practices can gradually be embedded into everyday business operations.

  • Step 1

    Capability Building

    Develop internal competencies and organizational readiness.

  • Step 2

    Pilot Implementation

    Launch pilot initiatives and refine solutions through iteration.

  • Step 3

    Operational Integration

    Integrate circular practices into organizational processes.

  • Step 4

    Scaling Up

    Expand successful initiatives across products or business units.

05

REVEALING

The impact of circular economy initiatives is not only reflected in actions, but also in how results are measured and communicated.
Through systematic monitoring and disclosure, companies can better understand the environmental and business value generated by circular initiatives while strengthening transparency and trust with stakeholders. Circular On-site supports companies in establishing evaluation and communication mechanisms to quantify, verify, and present circular outcomes.

  • Step 1

    Progress Measuring

    Track circularity indicators and baseline data to evaluate the results of implemented actions.

  • Step 2

    Learning Improving

    Review outcomes and user behaviors to continuously refine circular strategies and initiatives.

  • Step 3

    Communication Preparing

    Prepare data and insights to support external communication and sustainability disclosure.
