Systemic Change in Business
The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy implies a systemic change.
Ladeja Godina Kosir, a unique figure in the world of the circular economy, explains what each of these terms means: linear, circular, and systemic change.
The circular economy is the key to sustainability. It involves the transition from the current linear business model, where we produce, use, and discard, to a circular one, based on reducing consumption, rethinking design, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling.
However, making this transition requires system thinking. What is this systemic thinking and how does it work in reality? Find out in this interview, where Ladeja Godina Kosir provides concrete, real-life examples, as she works directly with several companies that have already made the change.
The interview was conducted at the Climate Change Summit, held in Bucharest in October 2024, where eEco was a media partner.
More concrete examples of businesses that have become circular can also be seen in the video campaign "Second Life. Circular Economy Models."
