Abstract

This article discusses how smaller companies can participate in the circular economy, which involves minimizing waste and maximizing profit. The author provides four steps for SMEs to embrace circularity, including reevaluating waste as potential resources, seeking collaboration opportunities, leveraging digital marketplaces, and treating circularity as a major change program. The article also provides real-world examples of companies that have successfully implemented circular practices. Embracing the circular economy can not only benefit SMEs financially but also contribute to sustainability and environmental protection. [Extracted from the article]
