The guide encourages users to select a few strategies that are workable for their particular business and offers practical information referring to existing platforms, research already done, as well as organisations making an important contribution to the circular economy.

The tool is highly developed and elaborated, with five main strategies, and 36 sub-strategies, 360+ cases, 80+ practical tips and tricks.
