| Abstract |
Nearly every industry faces the same question, whether they realize it yet or not: how do we reinvent our businesses to ensure resilience and prosperity today and into the future? The current linear economy is fraught with waste, inefficiencies, and toxic chemicals that cost businesses, consumers, and society. Since its inception more than 100 years ago, Steelcase's has been on a path toward circularity. It began with operational excellence and product innovation. For the last decade, the company has been focusing on transformation through circular business models. This work involves product-service business models, new ways to engage with our customers, and a new lens to think about products. Green chemistry is a foundational component to delivering on this strategy and one we will explore in this article.& para;& para; [GRAPHICS] . |
