Value shifts from sales to performance and maintenance. In circular manufacturing, value shifts from one-off sales to long-term performance, maintenance and component retention. Performance and operating models are promising routes for holding on to regional value. In manufacturing, value disappears at disposal, while components are often far more valuable than the material.
Five product families screened for circular opportunities, with revenue models that retain value through performance and maintenance. This outcome is relevant for manufacturing companies, OEMs and organisations in circular economy and industrial policy. Source: RTA Manufacturing Industry Overijssel (2020).
