Circular Innovations

The transition to a circular economy is no longer a long-term ambition — it is becoming a regulatory reality across Europe. New frameworks such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), the Battery Regulation and upcoming circularity requirements are shifting the focus from emissions alone to full lifecycle performance.

These European ambitions cascade into national strategies and sector-specific rules across disconnected policy areas — product design, waste management, procurement, reporting and due diligence — each with its own timeline, definitions and level of maturity. Without a clear view of this landscape, organisations risk fragmented action, missed opportunities and delayed decisions.

Battery regulation, ecodesign requirements and waste directives jointly shape decisions on fleet procurement, maintenance and end-of-life management — understanding how they interact is where the real opportunities emerge.

Questions we help you answer

  • Which circular economy regulations actually apply to our assets, operations or services?
  • How do upcoming policies translate into tangible requirements, and when do they take effect?
  • How should circularity be embedded into procurement, design and operational decisions?
  • How can we measure and demonstrate regulatory compliance and impact in a consistent way?
  • Where do strategic regulatory risks and opportunities emerge across the value chain?
