at the heart of their businesses. Founders that are looking to scale and commercialise their emerging ventures.
Business models that combine the R-strategy of 'Reduce' with innovation in products or materials through source material minimization, product design or production process efficiency.
Business models that seek to recover and extract value from undeveloped external waste streams, mainly post-consumer products and post producer waste streams. These businesses pursue lower ranked R-strategies 'Recycle' and 'Recover', though they often use innovative process solutions.
Business models that create marketplaces for excess resources, such as trading and sharing website platforms. The R-strategies pursued by these businesses are 'Reduce' and 'Reuse'.
Business models that are focused on fulfilling the need for a product and ensuring it is durable and reusable, rather than selling the maximum number of products. The main R-strategy employed by these businesses is 'Reduce', and the business models often rely on the active involvement of the customer to return or repair products.
Business models that pursue the highest ranked R-strategy of 'Regenerate'. They not only try to avoid environmental harm, but offer products and services based on natural ecosystems and nature-based solutions.
Business models that prioritise 'repair' and 'remanufacturing', to keep products and materials in use for longer at their highest value
