Implementing CE-solutions: the 9R-strategies

Several circularity strategies exist to reduce the consumption of natural resources and materials, and minimise the production of waste. They can be ordered for priority according to their levels of circularity.

Ideally, all materials stay within the economic production and consumption system. As a rule of thumb, more circularity equals more environmental benefits. This ultimate circularity, in which a product chain is closed because the materials can be applied over and over again, while retaining their original quality. If these can be applied in a similar product while no additional natural resources are necessary, then waste is a concept of the past. However, this is very hard to achieve in reality and full circularity is therefore the highest level, or objective within a Circular Economy.

There exists a hierarchy of circularity strategies, different levels to reduce the consumption of natural resources and materials, and minimize the production of waste^[1]. They can be ordered for priority according to their levels of circularity (Figure 1).

More information and examples with regards to these 9R-strategies can be found in the toolkit.

Within the FACET-project these circularity strategies are linked to the concept of value chains to make them more tangible.

-The FACET project includes telling entrepreneurs and other stakeholders more about the circular economy, working together in the circular economy (see collaborative tools for entrepreneurs) and offering several examples of possible applications of circular initiatives ({{External link|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01287|name=see for example best practices|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}).
-But what if, as an entrepreneur, you now want to start generating and implementing your circular business plans yourself? Where do you start, how do you ensure a well-developed plan and most importantly, how do you learn from others with a similar idea to facilitate your process?

-This toolkit, developed by the FACET project, helps entrepreneurs develop their own new circular business plan. To do this, the roadmap takes you as an entrepreneur through the following steps:
+Ideally, all materials stay within the economic production and consumption system.  As a rule of thumb, more circularity equals more environmental benefits. This ''ultimate circularity'', in which a product chain is closed because the materials can be applied over and over again, while retaining their original quality. If these can be applied in a similar product while no additional natural resources are necessary, then waste is a concept of the past. However, this is very hard to achieve in reality and full circularity is therefore the highest level, or objective within a Circular Economy.
-'''1. Business evaluation'''
+There exists a hierarchy of circularity strategies, different levels to reduce the consumption of natural resources and materials, and minimize the production of waste<sup>[1]</sup>. They can be ordered for priority according to their levels of circularity (Figure 1).
-The first step in the process is to lay a foundation: you lay the baseline for your business by looking at current business processes and waste streams. This step helps you as an entrepreneur in determining the best steps to be taken in switching from a linear to a circular approach, as well as it helps you to think about the monitoring of the steps that you want to take.

+Within the FACET-project these circularity strategies are linked to the concept of value chains to make them more tangible.
-'''2. Initial Action Plan'''
+[[Bestand:9_R_strategies.JPG|kaderloos]]
-Step 1 helps you create an overview of circular solutions that could be implemented. In this second step, an Action Plan should be developed for the implementation of the selected circular initiative. The action plan aims to identify the actions to be undertaken based on the identified potential circular strategies and baseline.

-'''3. Circular design proposal'''
-Step 3 is the development of a circular design proposal. The Design Proposal is an add-on tool and is applied depending on the respective case. It aims to identify circular material based on respective cases and actions identified in previous steps.

-'''4. Visualization of the new business model'''
-Now that the circular application to be implemented is on paper, it is time in this step to work out the business case for it: you are going to see how the plan works out looking at the values it creates on an economic, ecological and social level using the triple layer business model canvas.
-'''5. Monitoring and evaluation'''
-The fifth and final step consists of monitoring the progress and achievements of your [null elaborated] circular business plan. In step 5, the FACET project provides you with a tool to accomplish this.
-When you have successfully completed this roadmap, you have officially contributed to the circular economy, congratulations! We would love to hear more about your experiences with this process. Please let us know how you experienced this process. Did you not quite manage to design or realize your circular business plan? We are happy to help you further! Contact us to see what we can do for each other.
