As-A-Service and circular economy - connecting the dots

This white paper explores the links between the circular economy approach and the Product-As-A-Service (PaaS) business model. It first establishes the concept of circular economy and then follows with what the PaaS model is. This paper is written predominantly from the perspective of manufacturers and/or integrators.

This is the first of four white papers, the next paper focuses on planned obsolescence, the third tackles the common mistakes made when connecting As-A-Service and circular economy, and the last presents 5 ways to initiate your circular economy contribution with PaaS.

Our focus is on:

• The performance economy approach defined by Walter Stahel to the circular economy and how it relates to the Product-As-A-Service model.
• The Product-As-A-Service model and the benefits it provides for the manufacturer or the integrator.
• The Product-As-A-Service model being one doorway to the performance economy and therefore one solution for sustainable development.
