Welcome to the external resources section of our website! Here, we provide a curated selection of open-source online materials dedicated to supporting SMEs and business innovation advisors in the transition towards the circular economy. Our resources are designed to enhance understanding, facilitate assessment, and inspire the implementation of circular business models, products, and processes.
Our mapped external resources are divided into three key areas:
- Tools to evaluate your current practices and identify areas for improvement. Discover tools like ready2LOOP and the Circular Economy Toolkit that help analyze and plan your circular economy transition.
- Comprehensive guides and platforms offering in-depth knowledge and best practices on implementing circular principles. Explore extensive resources from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and other leading institutions that provide actionable insights and case studies.
- Online courses and training modules to educate yourself or your team on circular economy concepts and strategies. Engage with structured learning from top educational platforms to equip your team with the knowledge needed for circular innovations.
To make the most of these resources:
- Identify your needs: Determine what aspect of circularity your business needs help with—whether it’s understanding basic principles, assessing your current model, or learning new concepts.
- Choose a resource type: Select from tools, platforms, or modules based on your immediate needs and learning preferences.
- Engage and implement: Use the insights, knowledge and tools available to drive change within your business processes and strategies.
