The main advantage of the circular economy model over the linear one is the resilience capacity and the financial sustainability that it provides to an organization. This model also provides the ability to influence and manage the business risks caused by the main environmental and social challenges such as climate change, scarcity of natural resources, waste management, marine pollution, and biodiversity loss, among others.
SustainLuum puts at the service of its clients a team of experts in the development of circular projects within the framework of the Circular Route of SustainLuum:
Circular Capacities
The first stage of the redesign of a circular business model is proposed with the objective that the company manages to identify in a panoramic way the potential that the circular economy represents and the benefits that can be obtained by adopting it. This stage includes the development of capacities on the concepts, benefits and risks to mitigate when integrating circularity in the business, as well as the characteristics of circular business models.

Innovation Workshops in Circular Economy
SustainLuum designs and teaches workshops aimed at training on the essence of the circular economy, its benefits, and how to implement it. The workshops, taught with educational and recreational tools and instruments, allow an organization to identify the opportunities that the circular economy offers, strengthening its process of innovation and value optimization.
Circular Use of Resources and Energy
Based on the identification of the circular potential, to identify the specific opportunities and risks within the organization and move towards a circular model, an analysis of the current use of resources is carried out, both materials, energy, and water through a Circular Diagnosis, which involves collaboration with various areas of the company.

Circular Diagnosis
The diagnosis carried out by SustainLuum allows companies to identify their status and progress in the face of circularity aspects that influence a product or service, as well as to identify opportunities and risks that can be addressed through circularity. Through the Diagnosis, a mapping of actions to be implemented is generated, as well as the integration of optimal circularity measures in the sustainability agenda.
Innovation in the business model
In the circular economy it is essential to redefine the way in which companies obtain value, so this stage identifies the potential for impact in all areas of the business that can be influenced by the implementation of circular economy measures. Actions are designed to take advantage of the identified opportunities, as well as the organization’s execution plan to accelerate the transition. As a coordination and implementation tool, a roadmap is generated that determines the specific actions and indicators of the new circular model.

Circular Strategy Design
As a master instrument for the definition of a circular model, a strategy is generated that includes the circular context of the organization; circular goals and objectives; associated benefits; key indicators of performance; as well as circular actions and their possible impacts. As a strategy guiding tool, a Roadmap is designed that specifies the actions to be carried out and the necessary resources for the optimal operation of the strategy.
Circular Processes
Execution protocols for the specific actions contained in the Circular Strategy are designed and implemented. The protocols are defined based on the resources allocated by the company and the current ability to adapt in its use of resources, technology, and profitable business models.

Model Implementation
SustainLuum supports organizations by accompanying them in the implementation of the defined Circular Strategy, with the design of execution protocols, coordination of activities of the Strategy, as well as, in the supervision of the generation of results. In the same way, SustainLuum carries out the design of a Collaboration Platform and the coordination with the key actors to achieve potentiate the advantages of integrating a joint project with the value chain and thus generate positive impacts on the organization and its community.
Collaboration Platform
Collaboration with the companies’ value chain is essential to generate greater success of the circular model implemented. With this, the shared value is potentiated, with which extended benefits are obtained and an additional economic value is generated for the circular product or service.

Regenerative System
In order to identify how the implemented model is managing to regenerate the social and environmental fabric by creating positive impacts on the environment and society; The following are proposed: indicators that comprehensively measure the impact of the circular models used; the implementation of performance evaluation processes; and the design of communication plans for internal and external key stakeholders.

Circular Performance Evaluation and Monitoring
The circularity evaluation is crucial to identify and monitor the performance of a circular product, process or company, which allows assessing the impacts generated in the transition process, and that can be integrated into the performance metrics of the company linked to the circular goals and objectives.
Communication and Diffusion Strategy
Organizations that include sustainability as part of their corporate image need to socialize the positive impacts generated, by making their internal and external key stakeholders aware of the results obtained by the circular model implemented. The Strategy is directed towards the various key actors of the organization so that the message manages to permeate within the common interest within the organization, its sector and community.
