Circular businness models

The European Commission’s new green taxonomy establishes the preferential circular economy areas to be co-financed, both by the European Investment Bank and by the private financial sector. They include the areas aimed at the de-materialisation and the sustainability of the products, such as reuse, remanufacturing, retrofitting and repairing, and servitization, including pay per use. However, access to this required financing is only possible by showing the commercial feasibility of complex business models where digitalisation and advanced data management become an essential ally.
