THE CLOCK IS ALREADY RUNNING

Circular pressure now has dates attached.

EU product rules now carry market-access deadlines. Customers are sending circularity questionnaires. Margin is being destroyed through value chains nobody has mapped. Each product below closes one of those gaps: scoped, time-boxed, owned.

Behind every product sits the same diagnosis: circular initiatives stall when compliance is chased without shared understanding underneath it. The products below are how you break the pattern.

Only deadlines that survive scrutiny.

No recycled compliance fear: these are the obligations as they actually stand after the 2026 Omnibus.

Diagnostics & assessments

Know where you stand, with evidence you can defend.

Diagnostics & assessmentsStart here

Circular Readiness Diagnostic

A fixed-scope diagnostic that tells you, with evidence, where your organisation stands on circularity and what to do first.

Most organisations have a feeling about their circular readiness, not a finding: the divergence between leadership answers is itself the first evidence. The free scan is a thirty-minute conversation; afterwards you receive our Circular Readiness Levels framework to frame what surfaced.

Book the diagnostic Book a free scan call

Why now

Every obligation on this page lands differently depending on where you actually are. Committing budget before diagnosing readiness is how circular initiatives stall.

Format

Free 30-minute scan call: CRL framework sent afterwards
1–2 week fixed-scope engagement
Leadership questionnaire, targeted interviews, evidence review
Readiness placement, friction map, sequenced action list

Best for

Boards wanting an evidence-based starting point
Organisations getting conflicting internal answers on circularity
Companies about to invest in circular programmes, data or tooling

Diagnostics & assessments

ESRS Double Materiality Assessment

The formal first step of ESRS compliance: a deep double materiality assessment with defensible evidence, including whether E5 is material for you.

A light-touch workshop produces a heat map nobody can defend under assurance. This is the deep version: impacts, risks and opportunities scored across your value chain, stakeholders documented, thresholds explicit, software-enabled so it stays live.

How the assessment works

Why now

For companies in CSRD scope (>1,000 employees, >€450m turnover) every ESRS obligation starts here, and your auditor will test how you decided. A materiality call you cannot evidence is an assurance finding waiting to happen.

Format

Stage 1 of a four-stage path: materiality → gaps → baseline → reporting
Impact and financial materiality scored across the full value chain
Software-enabled scoring and evidence file, stays current as you change
Materiality statement prepared for assurance review, including the E5 applicability call

Best for

Companies in CSRD scope, or preparing to be
Subsidiaries feeding a group's ESRS report
Suppliers answering VSME-shaped customer questionnaires

ISO 59000 Training & Certification Readiness

Training and certification readiness for the ISO 59000 family: the international circular economy standards.

ISO 59004, 59010 and 59020 give procurement teams, auditors and boards a shared vocabulary for circularity. We translate the family into the decisions you actually face and prepare you for the standards moving towards certification.

See ISO 59000 dates and enquire

Why now

ISO 59000 is the vocabulary procurement teams and assurance providers will use to define 'circular'. The Dublin practitioner cohort runs 2 to 3 November 2026; Breukelen follows in January 2027. Seats are limited.

Format

One-day introduction across the ISO 59000 family
Two-day practitioner programme, worked against your sector
Dublin cohort November 2026, Breukelen January 2027; in-house delivery across Ireland, Benelux and the EU

Best for

Sustainability, compliance and procurement leads
Consultants and trainers who want to deliver the programme
Organisations preparing for auditable circular claims

Training & programmes

Circular Masterclass

A one-to-two-hour masterclass at your event or in-house, built around your sector's specific circular challenge.

Not a lecture. Your team works on your own product, material flow or value chain: where value is being destroyed, what circular options exist, and what it would take to act.

Book a masterclass

Why now

The fastest way from abstract ambition to concrete understanding is ninety minutes on your own product. Appetite, blockers and ownership surface before any budget is committed.

Format

1–2 hours, at your event, offsite or in-house
Standard programmes, or custom-built around your sector
Hands-on: your product, your value chain, not generic slides
Optional follow-up conversation on next steps

Best for

Leadership offsites and company events
Boards and teams needing shared language fast
Companies testing appetite before a programme

Pricing & Availability

Depending on scope.

Training & programmes

Circular Readiness Programme

Moves a company, or a whole value chain, from circular ambition to an investment-ready roadmap. Six-week senior cohort or 8–12 week supply-chain track.

Circularity usually breaks down between organisations, not inside one. This programme puts peers, or the actors of a single value chain, in the same room, and works from shared diagnosis to sequenced, owned action.

Apply for the next programme

Why now

Material security is a board question: the Critical Raw Materials Act sets 2030 benchmarks. CSRD-scope customers are pushing data demands down their chains; nobody solves it alone.

Format

Cohort format: six-week senior programme, 6–10 companies
Value-chain format: 8–12 week track aligning one chain's actors
Diagnostic, shared framing, value-destruction and supply-chain mapping
Joint roadmap, owned action agenda, final presentation

Best for

Senior teams in capital-intensive sectors
Industry associations, PPPs and regional development agencies
Supply-chain actors who cannot solve circularity alone

Data & compliance products

The product-level evidence regulators, customers and auditors ask for.

Data & compliance products

Circular LCA & Impact Baseline

A focused baseline for the impact of a product, material flow or circular intervention, before you scale it.

Life-cycle thinking meets circular strategy. Companies use it to avoid vague claims and see where impact actually sits: materials, production, use phase, repair, reuse, end-of-life.

Create an impact baseline

Why now

The revised ESRS E5, adopted in July 2026 and awaiting Official Journal publication, means fewer datapoints and the same plumbing, and it still sits in an assured report. Measure once, answer everyone: your auditor, your customers' questionnaires, your bank.

Format

4–6 week baseline project
Product or material-flow scoping with hotspot analysis
Circular intervention comparison and recommendations
Optional preparation for deeper third-party LCA work

Best for

Companies developing circular products
Procurement teams and impact investors
Companies needing evidence before making circular claims

Data & compliance products

Digital Product Passport Readiness Sprint

A practical sprint that maps what Digital Product Passports mean for your products, data, suppliers and compliance obligations.

Not a technology exercise. You map the product data you already have, what is missing, who owns it, and what needs to be in place before a DPP can be compliant and useful.

Start a Digital Product Passport (DPP) readiness sprint

Why now

Battery passports apply from 18 February 2027; steel, then textiles, are expected to follow under ESPR delegated acts, each with a clock of around 18 months. DPP readiness is 18–36 months of data plumbing, start now.

Format

2–4 week readiness sprint
Product and data mapping, supplier gap analysis
Compliance and reporting needs scan
Practical DPP implementation roadmap

Best for

Manufacturers, importers and brands
Product companies preparing for EU transparency requirements
Companies unsure where to start with product-level data

Data & compliance products

Product Circularity Data Sheets (PCDS)

Product-level circularity data built to ISO 59040: one sheet per product, ready to feed ESPR and Digital Product Passports.

Start with a pilot on a single product to see what a defensible sheet actually looks like, then scale into a rollout across a product range with supplier onboarding and internal handover.

See how PCDS works Book a scoping call

Why now

ESPR delegated acts are expected from late 2026, each with a clock of around 18 months. Battery passports are mandatory from 18 February 2027. PCDS is the data layer that keeps you ready for all of it.

Format

Pilot: 4–6 week fixed-scope engagement on one product
Rollout: 6–12 month phased programme across a range
ISO 59040 structure, supplier onboarding, internal handover
Data reusable for DPP, customer questionnaires and ESRS

Best for

Manufacturers, brands and importers facing ESPR / DPP
Product teams answering repeated customer circularity questionnaires
Companies preparing product-level evidence for assured reporting

Pricing & Availability

Advisory & ownership

Senior weight behind the agenda, and the investment story that funds it.

Advisory & ownershipOwn the follow-through

Fractional Chief Circularity Officer

A board-level owner of your circular agenda, one or two days a week: your regulatory calendar, your customers' questionnaires, quarterly readiness reporting.

Most mid-size product companies are too exposed to have nobody senior on circularity, and too early to justify a full-time hire. The fractional CCO fills exactly that seat: inside your leadership rhythm, presentable to auditors, customers and investors.

See how the role works Book an intro call

Why now

Every deadline on this page needs an owner, and in most organisations it belongs to everyone and no one. Ownership is the fix, not another report.

Format

Starts with the Circular Readiness Diagnostic: the mandate is proposed on evidence
One or two days a week, inside your leadership cadence
Regulatory calendar, customer questionnaires and tender responses, owned
Quarterly CRL re-assessment and a board report you can defend

Best for

Product companies with dated obligations and no senior owner
Boards wanting an early-warning system, not a report
Sustainability leads needing executive weight behind the mandate

Circular Investment Readiness Memo

A strategic memo that translates a circular opportunity into a clear business, impact, risk and investment story.

For companies, ventures and project teams needing to explain why their circular solution matters: the problem, the value, the evidence, and what happens next for investors, funders or the board.

Build an investment memo

Why now

Taxonomy-linked lending, grants and investment committees ask the same question: where is the evidence? Without a clear story, the answer is a pass.

Format

2–3 week memo sprint
Business model and circular value review
Risk, readiness and impact framing
Investor/funder narrative with clear next steps

Best for

Circular ventures and innovation teams
Project consortia and grant applications
Companies preparing internal investment decisions
