Unlocking circular opportunities for social enterprises

Collaboration as a lever for circular growth

More and more products are being given a second life through ReX activities such as reuse, repair, refurbish and remanufacture. This opens up new opportunities for social enterprises, but taking the plunge often remains difficult due to time constraints, staff shortages or unclear returns. In this masterclass, you will discover how to use the Remanumaat framework to identify concrete ReX opportunities, tackle them structurally and collaborate more effectively with partners. 

During this masterclass we zoom in on the practice of setting up sustainable cooperation and on the internal aspects that you should take into account. We use the Remanumaat framework as a basis for this interactive workshop:

For whom?

This masterclass is intended for: 

• Employees of social enterprises with an interest in ReX
• Individuals with direct and indirect (formal and informal) influence on collaboration with manufacturing companies focused on product life extension
• Individuals with a leading role in companies that are already in contact with social enterprises and want to make a transition to ReX
