A Tool to Analyze, Ideate and Develop Circular Innovation Ecosystems

Jan Konietzko, Nancy Bocken, Erik Jan Hultink · 2020 · Sustainability

Summary. This paper presents the Circularity Deck, a card-based tool designed to help organizations analyze and develop circular economy innovations across their ecosystems. The tool organizes circular economy principles by strategy type (narrowing, slowing, closing, regenerating material flows) and innovation scope (product, business model, ecosystem level). Tested with 136 participants across 62 organizations in 12 workshops, the Circularity Deck enables groups of loosely coupled organizations to collectively redesign their interactions and resource flows.
