In this video, Rob van Ipenburg from Quyntess and Tom Leenders from Gerrard Street discuss the challenges standing in the way of a #circularEconomy. #SupplyChain collaboration in a circular economy is a great opportunity to improve resilience, material availability and enhance financial growth.

The long-discussed concept of circular economy seems ready for takeoff. However, the real door-opener is still to be found in the analog world: It's about trustful collaboration. Only when all stakeholders involved in a product's life-cycle find profitable ways to build closed-loop supply chains, and only if they share both costs and benefits, circular economy will be able to unfold its full potential.
