Circular product design services
Kickstart your journey towards sustainability with Stena Circular Consulting’s introductory services. Designed for businesses ready to explore circular economy solutions, our services help you assess resource efficiency, reduce waste, and identify sustainable growth opportunities. Gain expert insights into implementing circular strategies, improving operational efficiency, and creating long-term value for your business and the environment.
Design for circularity workshop
Starting price 70,000 SEK
The workshop provides a hands-on experience where a selected product is analyzed to identify practical strategies for enhancing circularity and recyclability.
- Seminar on design for recycling/circularity
- Live product teardown
- Idea generation for improvements
- Insights on End-of-Life and post use systems
- Implementation of changes
- Quantitative recycling or circularity rate
Recycling rate report
Starting price 40,000 SEK
Analysis of the recycling rate of a selected product based on bill of materials with materials and weight data.
- Quantitative recycling rate
- Analysis based on actual product’s EoL scenario in Nordics
- Recyclability obstacles due to materials’ choices
- Documented key findings
- Implementation of recycling improvements
- Design recommendations
Carbon footprint screening
Starting price 70,000 SEK
Our screening is a light LCA that gives you data to identify where your carbon footprint is the largest and suggested next steps. The screening follows ISO 14067 standard but is recommended for internal use only.
- Carbon Footprint for one (1) product (in kg CO2e)
- Calculation in LCA software using 3rd party data
- Hotspot analysis, interpretation of results
- Carbon footprint report for internal use
- Insights about environmental impact other than CO2e
- ISO compliant and 3rd party reviewed LCA report
Low impact material opportunity workshop
Starting price 50,000 SEK
Identify viable and alternative materials with a reduced environmental footprint. This workshop explores materials such as biobased or recycled options, helping you make informed choices to reduce overall product impact.
- Assessment of current material usage
- Identification of low-impact material alternatives
- Evaluation of the environmental benefits of alternative materials
- Recommendations for integrating low-impact materials
- Full lifecycle assessment (LCA)
- Limited to material selection
- Tests or pilots for implementation
Product end-of-life mapping
Starting price 40,000 SEK
This initiative helps to understand and plan for a product’s lifecycle after use. By analyzing how products are handled and recycled in practice, we provide the insights needed to make design decisions that promote recyclability.
- Mapping of the product’s end-of-life stage
- Identification of recycling challenges within the system
- Report with insights and concrete action proposals
- Limited to material and process analysis
- Instructions for recycling guidance to end-users
Frequently asked questions
Our introductory services help new clients explore circular economy solutions and gain an initial understanding of how our expertise can create value for their business and the environment.
The workshop starts with a seminar on circular design principles, continues with a live teardown of a selected product, and concludes with an idea-generation session to explore design improvements that increase recyclability.
We can analyze a wide range of products, as long as we have the necessary data for the Recycling Rate Report or access to the physical product for the workshop.
Yes, our workshops and reports include insights and design recommendations, but implementation is not included. Full implementation can be arranged as a separate service.
Yes, we can adjust the content and focus of workshops, reports, and e-learning to suit your company’s products and sustainability goals.
Yes, the report provides a quantitative analysis of your product’s recycling rate, including what portion of materials are recycled, incinerated, or sent to landfill, along with insights on obstacles to recycling.
Workshops are ideal for small to medium teams, typically up to 12 participants, to ensure everyone gets hands-on experience and active participation.
A screening LCA is faster and uses more secondary data; a full LCA is deeper, suited to external claims (EPD/labeling) and usually requires third‑party critical review. Screenings are ideal for prioritizing design or sourcing changes; full LCAs support verified communication.
“Low‑impact” depends on life‑cycle context. Biobased means made partly or wholly from biological resources (not necessarily biodegradable); recycled uses recovered material to lower embodied carbon and conserve resources. The optimal choice is case‑specific and assessed via LCA.
Recyclability is the design potential for a product to be recycled; the recycling rate is the observed outcome in a defined system. Mapping helps close the gap between the two by aligning design with operations.
