Ecopreneur.eu, the Estonian Responsible Business Forum and sustainability software company WeSustain are happy to invite you to a Circularity Check “Train the trainer” webinar. It will take place on Wednesday November 18, 2020 at 15:00 – 16:30 CET. Are you working with or for SMEs or leading companies to make their products more circular? To what extent are the current products circular and sustainable, if at all? And what can be done to make them (more) circular? Those are some crucial questions the Circularity Check helps answering with a hands-on checklist developed for SMEs.

Building on two earlier Circularity Check shorter webinars and one live workshop in Amsterdam in 2018 and 2019, Arthur ten Wolde from Ecopreneur.eu/MVO Nederland and Alice Drooghmans from WeSustain will now hold a 1,5 hour online workshop. The workshop is intended for everyone interested in measuring circularity in companies, including the 500+ existing users, while aiming for an audience of trainers and consultants working with SMEs on circular design and the introduction of low-carbon circular business models. The idea for this workshop arose from interest in the Check from our co-organiser the Responsible Business Forum in Estonia. See below for the program of the workshop.

The Circularity Check is a free online scan with a questionnaire of about 60 questions that determines a circularity score for a specific product and/or service in any sector. It was developed by Ecopreneur and MVO Nederland as a self-assessment tool for SMEs and large companies. Thanks to partner company WeSustain it was programmed for free.

If you are not yet using the Circularity Check, it is recommended to also register for the Circularity Check itself well in advance of the workshop. You can do this at any day. This will allow you to try it both before and during the workshop, and raise any questions arising from the use. Since registration for the Circularity Check itself typically takes 24 hours, registration during the workshop will not be possible. You can register here for the Circularity Check.
