What can we support you with? 

Test it yourself: quickly and free of charge with our Self-check for the Circular Readiness Level® (CRL®). The CRL® is a web-based self-assessment tool that enables companies to self-assess the maturity of products or product systems with regard to the circular economy. It assesses the extent to which a product already incorporates circular economy strategies in the areas of product design, product service system, end-of-life management and circular economy, and where there is still room for improvement.
