How Companies are Embracing Circular Economy
Circular economy is becoming a central piece of corporate sustainability strategies in 2024, especially as ESG commitments demand businesses to rethink how they manage materials and waste.
LEGO Leads the Way
One standout example of a company embracing this shift is LEGO, which is making significant strides in using renewable materials for its iconic bricks.
By the first half of 2024, 22% of its raw materials were sourced from renewable or recycled sources, with plans to increase that to 50% by 2026. This marks a critical step toward LEGO's goal of making its products entirely from sustainable materials by 2032, all while reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.
However, this transformation doesn’t come without its challenges.
For LEGO, the move toward circularity has required a hefty investment, with the company willing to pay up to 70% more for certified renewable resin. They are also using innovative strategies like mass balance, which allows them to trace and certify the portion of renewable content across their supply chain.
Complexities Arise
Make no mistake, the journey isn’t as straightforward as switching materials. Complexities arise, including balancing costs and consumer perceptions, especially when the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) labeling can create confusion about what "renewable" truly means in their products.
This is where companies like QuantaVision come in. They help businesses not only manage the complexities of adopting circular practices but also streamline these efforts with innovative tracking tools and strategic consulting.
As businesses transition to sustainable production methods, having the ability to transparently report and track their material usage and waste reduction becomes essential. It alleviates confusion, promotes good stewardship, and invokes moral responsibility.
QuantaVision’s expertise in ESG reporting and waste-free production strategies is critical for navigating these new sustainability goals, ensuring big and small companies can maintain accountability while making substantial environmental progress. Their software solutions enable firms to monitor the entire lifecycle of their products, from sourcing materials to minimizing post-consumer waste.
