Circular Solutions Canvas: Background report on the development of a tool for analysing and scaling circular economy impacts

A practical tool for analysing, curating, and designing circular solutions

As the Circular Economy (CE) gains momentum as a response to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, a critical gap remains between circular ambition and practical implementation. This report addresses that gap by introducing the Circular Solution Canvas, a structured yet flexible tool for analysing, curating and designing circular solutions grounded in real-world practice. Building on an assessment of regional CE knowledge platforms and illustrated through business cases from Southeast Asia, the Canvas captures how circular ideas translate into value creation and measurable benefits for business, the environment and society. By supporting both learning from existing solutions and the development of investable new ones, the report offers a practical pathway for scaling CE impact and turning knowledge into action.
