Circular Economy

“Linear consumption is reaching its limits. A circular economy has benefits that are

operational as well as strategic, on both a micro-and macroeconomic level. This is a

trillion-dollar opportunity, with huge potential for innovation, job creation and

economic growth.” (World Economic Forum, 2014)

Circular Economy

“A circular economy is an industrial system that is regenerative by intention and design. It

replaces the end-of-life concept with restoration, shifts towards the use of renewable energy,

eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, which impair reuse and return to the biosphere, and

aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems

and business models.” (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2012 e 2013)

“The art of designing the product life cycle through choices about

product concept, structure, materials and process” (Alting and Legarth, 1995)

Hauschild, M.; Jeswiet, J.; Alting, L. (2005)

Life Cycle Engineering

LCM is a product management

system aiming to minimize

environmental and socio-

economic burdens associated

with an organization´s product

during its entire life cycle and

value chain.

LCM is making life cycle

thinking and product

sustainability operation for

businesses through the

continuous improvements of

product systems.

Life Cycle Management

UNEP, 2007

Eco-innovation

“Eco-innovation is the development and application of a business model,

shaped by a new business strategy that incorporates sustainability

throughout all business operations based on life cycle thinking and in

cooperation with partners across the value chain. It entails a coordinated set

of modifications or novel solutions to products (goods / services), processes,

market approach and organizational structure which leads to a company’s

enhanced performance and competitiveness.” UNEP, 2014

Eco-innovation Implementation Process

Eco-innovation management: from business model innovation to

business process management

Goal: To develop a guideline for eco-innovation management based on the

inclusion of a set of life cycle management principles, practices and techniques into

business model innovation and business process management.

Environmental Sustainability Proposal for the Strategic

Planning process for Ecoinnovation

Goal: To bring, for the Strategic Planning process, a set of steps, activities and

support tools to help top managers to include environmental sustainability, with a life

cycle perspective, in their strategic decisions.

Methodology includes five case

studies in Brazilian, US and

Swedish organizations

Partner: University of California

– Berkeley
