Join the webinar by Kirsten Steunenberg MSc, who compared the environmental impact of a circular business model to a linear model in her master thesis in collaboration with Industrial Ecology at Delft University of Technology and Leiden University, the Netherlands.

Key topics and takeaways from the webinar are:

• A circular business model is not inherently more sustainable than the linear model;
• A short introduction into the LCA method and LCA results;
• The effects of different types of users and their behaviour on the environmental impact of the circular business model;
• Key conditions to reduce the environmental impact of a circular business model are: extending the washing machine’s lifetime and pushing customers towards environmentally friendly laundry behaviour;
