A new version of the Nordic Circular Economy Playbook will be launched during Nordic Circular Summit.
The future is Circular
The participating companies were divided into the industries: Machinery & Equipment, Maritime and Energy, Construction and Transport and the workshops were organized as interactive training sessions combining theory with practice. This gave the companies an opportunity to learn about circular business tools and to see how circular economy can become beneficial to their company.
“I wanted to learn more about circularity. From what I have seen during these workshops, I really believe circularity is the future. Circularity is at the top on our agenda but today it is only parts of the Scania organization working actively with circularity. Now we need to scale up and put more focus on the cross-functional work that is a prerequisite for our success within circular business.”.
Ida Mexnell, participant and Business Developer, Buses & Coaches at Scania Group.
Learning from industry experts
All the workshops were run by Accenture with input from industry experts. This provided the companies with knowledge about industry specific barriers and opportunities related to circular economy. The participants also got the opportunity to network and share ideas and thoughts with other companies from the same industry.
“We decided to participate in these workshops to learn more about the tools related to circular value chains and just as important, to meet other companies that are dealing with the same challenges, and perhaps create a network for future collaboration. For someone like us, who are working with reuse of automotive batteries, it is extremely beneficial to meet with someone like Scania and Volvo”.
Jørgen Erdal, participant and CEO at Evyon.
The new Nordic Circular Economy Playbook
Together with Accenture and Sitra, Nordic Innovation has developed the Nordic Circular Economy Playbook as a tool to help companies in their transition to circular economy. During the workshops, the participants learned how to use the playbook as a tool in their own company.
“Today we sell repurposed battery systems, but we are looking into business models where we can offer leasing or Battery-as-a-Service to our customers or look at other ways to reduce the footprint and at the same time increase the impact of our solutions”.
Jørgen Erdal, participant and CEO at Evyon
The Nordic Circular Economy Playbook was first released in 2021. Since then, new legislation and technology have been developed. Based on the learning outcomes from the workshops, an updated version of the Circular Economy Playbook will be released during the Nordic Circular Summit. The new playbook will include the newest legislation, knowledge and updated tools for the circular transition.
