Circular Economy Strategy for a Fast Fashion Retailer
Overview
What this challenge is about.
As a circular economy strategist, you must design a take-back program for TrendLoop's Amsterdam stores. Analyze customer behavior, logistics, and partnerships (with recyclers, resale platforms). Propose a business model (e.g., store credit, discount) and measure environmental impact. Deliver a pilot plan with KPIs, financial projections, and a scaling strategy. Success is a pilot that achieves 10% return rate and 20% margin on resold items.
