About Switching Gear
Switching Gear: Towards Circular Business Models is a Laudes Foundation-supported project, led by Circle Economy, that guided four apparel brands on a circular innovation process towards the design and launch of rental and resale business model pilots by 2021.
The project ran from 2019 to 2021. The Circular Toolbox, which will be launched at this event, brings together tools and insights from the project into a practical guide for apparel brands looking to explore circular business models.
