On June 29th, we dove deep into the topic of circular digital solutions in our latest CIRCULAZE Virtual Trend Tour. Following a keynote by Lars Friedrich, Chief Sustainability and Incubation Director at SAP, start-ups Reflaunt and Circular in Motion presented their digital solution.
In a recent report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, it was estimated that the global adoption of a circular economy model could generate $4.5 trillion in economic benefits by 2030. Additionally, the use of digital solutions can help to optimize the efficiency of circular economy practices, such as through the use of predictive analytics to minimize waste in the production process.
