Key Strategies:-
Circular Economy: -
Shifting from "take-make-waste" to reuse, repair, and recycling.
Product-as-a-Service: -
Moving from selling products to providing services, enhancing efficiency and longevity.
Digitalization & AI:-
Leveraging technology for real-time CO₂ monitoring and improved ESG performance.
Benefits: -
