About the presentation:
The circular economy is often regarded as a sustainability issue, even though it offers significant economic potential. Circular business models enable additional revenue, greater customer loyalty, reduced reliance on raw materials and new sources of value creation throughout the product life cycle. Using concrete practical examples from industry and after-sales, the presentation demonstrates how companies can successfully translate the circular economy into profitable business models and why the biggest bottleneck is usually not the strategy, but its operational implementation.

His areas of expertise include remanufacturing, after-sales, reverse logistics and the circular economy.
