The canvas

Be inspired by natural systems

› Minimize the use of inputs and eliminate waste and pollution

› Maximize the value created at each stage

› Manage flows of bio-based resources from and back into the biosphere, and recover and retain flows of non-renewable resources in closed loops

› Establish mutually beneficial relationships between companies within each circular chain.

› Designing intelligent manufacturing processes and specifying safe, healthful ingredients

From reduced footprint

to zero impact

to +1 = the circular economy

› Start a dialogue with directors and colleagues – create a unified image for what C2C can do for your products, undertakings and business relations

› Engage suppliers and clients

› Create your vision (blue economy)

› Make a roadmap

› Test and trials, learn from experiences – every little step forward is important

› Look for sparring partners and game changers– to transform the mindset is the key!

› Story telling is vital

Story telling

Don't forget the

Ex: Hålogalandsbrua, Norway

› 17 km shorter travel way

› 15-20 min less time/direction

› 3-4000 road users per day

COWI take – the 360º solution

› saves 4 500 l fossil fuel/day

› 3 300 ton less CO2 emissions/year

› saves 4 000 transportation km/year

› saves 2 000 km transp business/y

› Community retrofit = 365 000 hrs/y (one hour approx 300 sek)

› Bridge lifespan about 40-100 years
