The Circular Shift - let's learn from each other!

It is remarkable how many opportunities and help exist to take further steps towards circular entrepreneurship. This ranges from do-it-yourself formats, intense business coaching (individual and collective) to obtaining funding to realise your plans.
But often we overlook one of the most important tools: sharing with each other the small successful steps we already took. This is extremely valuable. That is why we are introducing the SHIFT page (SHare Innovation Forward & Talk), where we ask one question every month.

We will share the answers here on this webpage, as well as in our next newsletter.

"Our company sometimes buys refurbished products for non-critical applications."

One of our main suppliers of production machines also sometimes offers a second-hand product or accessory. It is always the cost-benefit analysis (including warranty) that we assess before purchase."

"Safety and compliance requirements do not allow us to buy old upgraded products." 

"We do not buy refurbished products, but in case of problems with our machinery, we are quickly helped out by our supplier who, during repair of the original part, supplies a refurbished part in its place so that production can be restarted quickly."
