A Deep Dive into the Global Impact of Circular Platforms
Digital platforms have become pivotal commerce channels, driving trillions of dollars in global transactions. However, most of these platforms still operate within a linear economy framework, focusing on new product sales with little regard for end-of-life cycles. This report by Peter C. Evans fills a critical knowledge gap by offering an in-depth analysis of circular platforms—digital marketplaces designed to extend product lifecycles, maximize resource utilization, and reduce waste.
Through the analysis of 246 circular platforms worldwide, this report uncovers the evolution of circular platform models, their growth across various sectors, and their geographic distribution. It provides valuable insights into how these platforms are not just facilitating sustainable practices but also creating new opportunities for businesses to thrive in a circular economy. Whether you're a business leader, policymaker, or sustainability advocate, this report offers a fresh perspective on the future of commerce.
