Trail's 'demystifying the case for circularity' series seeks to look at some of the biggest perceived obstacles in businesses transitioning to a circular economy, and aims to show examples of organisations which have embraced a circularity mindset to, create, shift and grow markets.

The first in this series looks at the challenge - "Circular businesses can't scale!" using the example of UK refillable personal care brand Wild, who have very successfully used circularity concepts to scale from start-up, to £230m acquisition in 6 years. - https://lnkd.in/eKqQriFG
