This presentation offers insights on circular business models that can be employed by future value chains to realize circular impact. In this presentation, we will list important challenges faced by the flooring industry to achieve circular impact, and reflect on how different circular business models may help to overcome these challenges. We describe what roles individual stakeholders in flooring value chains have to enable circular business models. In addition, we reflect on how value can be captured through different circular propositions, supporting the selection between different circular business model options.
