Circularise

Up to 70% of a company’s costs come from its supply chain 📊 What if decarbonisation could cut these costs? Cutting Scope 3 emissions isn’t just about sustainability—it’s a smart business move. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Reduce risk: a low-carbon supply chain is more resilient to regulations and disruptions. 2️⃣ Lower costs: smarter resource use means less waste, more savings. 3️⃣ Win new customers: sustainable products attract eco-conscious buyers. 4️⃣ Strengthen partnerships: build trust with investors, suppliers, and customers. 5️⃣ Enhance brand reputation: stand out as a climate leader. GHG reports enable firms to capture green growth. McKinsey & Company observes that, if priced right, companies can benefit from premiums on sustainability. A prime example of this trend is the chemicals industry, where firms with more low-carbon, biological, or recyclable products deliver higher total returns to shareholders.

❗️Did you know — 80%+ of a company’s emissions come from its supply chain? Accurately measuring supply chain emissions can be challenging. Instead of waiting for perfect data, Galvanize's Bias to Action approach helps companies focus on identifying key emission hotspots and acting now. What are Scope 3 emissions? These are indirect emissions from a company’s entire value chain — including suppliers, transportation, product use, and disposal. How Circularise helps: 🔺Pinpoints high-emission areas with verifiable data. 🔺Improves supplier engagement for better insights. 🔺Enables smarter decision-making for decarbonization. Act now, refine later. Find out more below👇

🗼 Last week, a delegation of UpLink Top Innovators, Investors and Ecosystem Partners joined over 160 leaders – corporates, policymakers, industry experts, entrepreneurs, and more – in Tokyo for the World Economic Forum event 'Japan: Climate & Nature Leadership in the Intelligent Age 2025'. The two-day gathering underscored the crucial importance of public-private #multistakeholder collaboration in advancing climate leadership in Japan and the region. 🤝 UpLink hosted an innovation breakfast where participants explored why ecosystem-driven approaches are critical to unlocking the potential of early-stage #innovation, highlighting the role of investment, policy, and corporate engagement to rewire industry models for lasting transformation. ⛰️ Learn more about how UpLink, alongside a network of partners and World Economic Forum initiatives, fosters ecosystems of collaboration to help enable a #netzero, nature-positive and equitable future for all: https://ow.ly/eesJ50V8eFO Sadaf Hosseini Claudia Ukonu Gim Neo Fernando J.

Marubeni Corporation x Circularise 🇯🇵 As Japan advances its circular economy, industries seek ways to balance supply chain transparency with data security. Circularise and Marubeni are working to introduce Digital Product Passports (DPPs) in the region — a game-changer for tracking materials, verifying sustainability claims, and ensuring compliance with growing global regulations. In their latest interview, Kotaro Ueno from Circularise and Shintaro Kiryu from Marubeni discuss the circular economy in Japan. Key insights: 🔹 Japan’s industry-led sustainability movement is accelerating, requiring new tools for material traceability. 🔹 Unlike Europe, where regulations play a central role, Japan's approach is shaped by industry associations setting guidelines that encourage businesses to adopt sustainable practices. 🔹 What is unique about Japan is that rather than the government taking the lead, various industry groups create guidelines for their industries. 🔹 DPPs help companies streamline life cycle assessments (LCAs) and meet ESG goals without exposing sensitive information. With increasing global demand for transparent and verifiable sustainability data, this traceability solution helps Japanese manufacturers stay ahead while maintaining control over proprietary information.

Did you know? Recycling plastic can cut waste by up to 50%. Digital product passports take this even further and improve recycling efficiency by up to 65%. But how do we measure this impact? 📈 That's where a combination of GreenDelta GmbH's life cycle assessment (LCA) and Circularise's digital product passports (DPP) comes in. As part of the PRIMUS project, we use openLCA to integrate DPP data into LCAs, making them more accurate and trustworthy. Watch our latest video with PRIMUS Project EU to learn more 👇

We are opening a new office in Tokyo! 🇯🇵 Circularise K.K., our Japanese subsidiary, was established on January 23, 2025—marking a major milestone in our mission to drive circular economy solutions in Japan. 💡 Why Japan? Japan is a key market for the circular economy, driven by industry-led initiatives and a strong sustainability focus. Unlike Europe’s regulation-driven approach, Japan relies on industry associations to set guidelines that encourage sustainable practices. With high green literacy and growing interest from manufacturers, Japan presents a unique opportunity for Circularise. Our traceability platform has already caught the attention of Japanese companies, with investors including Asahi Kasei, SEKISUI CHEMICAL, and most recently, Teijin Limited. As Japan advances its own information-sharing platform under the GX Act, we see immense potential for collaboration and innovation. We’re excited to support businesses in navigating this evolving landscape! Find the full press release in the comments to read more👇

Unpopular opinion 😵💫 1st rule of circularity = Refuse ❌ I just had that conversation again in a workshop. 🎯 Why is R-0 "REFUSE" often the forgotten child of the 10 Rs? ➡️ It's the most sustainable option in the design phase! 🤯 ➡️ Before we even think about recycling, remanufacturing, or repurposing, let's ask: Do we REALLY need it? 🤔 ➡️ Beyond extending product lifecycles and capturing value, it all 'starts' with refusing unnecessary consumption. Let's address the elephant in the room, especially for those still stuck in linear thinking.
