Transforming products & business models for positive environmental and performance impacts
The impact of production on our planetary boundaries is driving a need for innovation and transformation at an unprecedented scale, creating both opportunities and obligations for organisations across the globe.
Organisations that prioritise sustainability not only contribute to a more resilient future; they also position themselves as market leaders and open themselves up to new value creation. The nexus of circular business models, sustainable products and packaging, and waste reduction is a transformative force, driving positive environmental change while fostering innovation and resilience within organisations.
At Anthesis, we guide organisations through this transformative journey, supporting them as they address their compliance needs and prioritise sustainability as a driver for business growth. We specialise in supporting organisations to meet their regulatory obligations and developing evidence-backed strategies and roadmaps that boost resilience.
Our team combines extensive industry knowledge with a forward-thinking approach, tailoring solutions to align with each organisation’s unique goals. We help companies transform the products they create and the business models they use to engage customers in order to drive better environmental and social impact, while expanding their market opportunity and business resilience.
We also help technology and infrastructure providers, governments, investors, and others to ensure that circular end-of-life solutions exist for products and packaging through effective resource recovery.
From designing eco-friendly products and implementing efficient waste reduction and reuse strategies to addressing toxic materials and transitioning towards a circular economy, we are dedicated to empowering your organisation to thrive sustainably.
Product Stewardship & Sustainability
Anthesis works with clients to understand and improve the sustainability of their products across the product lifecycle and across impact areas (carbon, plastic, toxicity, etc.), while maintaining or elevating product technical and business performance.
We help you embed sustainability principles, considering environmental and social stewardship, throughout your business. With expertise in product development, materials science, circular design and more, we bring subject matter expertise, efficient tools, and a comprehensive view to help improve products, your product development process, and your supply chain.
Circular Business Models
We help organisations to adopt circular principles, turning waste into resources and creating new revenue streams.
We specialise in transforming how businesses develop products to optimise circular design and innovative material use, and how they can unlock circular revenue models such as resale, subscription, or product as a service. We also drive the circular economy by helping businesses to become more resource efficient, and reduce waste throughout the value chain.
