Concrete plant De Brabandere: concrete made out of concrete

Since 2019, the Circle Economy Foundation has published an annual report that outlines how circular our global economy really is. The figures from the most recent Circularity Gap Report are nothing short of disappointing: although circularity is higher on the agenda than ever before, practice lags behind theory. Time for action!

Circular entrepreneurship means not being afraid to think outside the box. Not just in terms of raw materials and design but also about how you put your products on the market. For instance, have you ever stopped to consider that selling your products as a service can be a win-win? Let’s introduce you to the functionality economy!

Go for Circular is just one of the initiatives of the FPS Economy to make a host of information available that helps entrepreneurs make their business practices even more sustainable. Every industry has specific needs and challenges and that is why the FPS Economy also supports various ‘norm antennas’. These are organisations that help companies in their industry with specific questions on quality standards, circularity, intellectual property, etc.
