SacWorks explores how technology is powering the circular economy—a model that focuses on reducing waste, reusing materials, and extending product life cycles. As sustainability becomes a strategic priority, SacWorks highlights how digital tools are enabling a shift from take-make-waste to reuse-recycle-reinvent.
In manufacturing, SacWorks explains how digital twins and IoT sensors monitor product performance and signal when parts can be refurbished or reused. This approach reduces landfill waste and boosts material efficiency.
Retailers are embracing resale platforms and reverse logistics to support product returns, repairs, and secondhand markets. SacWorks showcases how brands like Patagonia, IKEA, and Apple are investing in circularity through trade-in programs and eco-friendly design.
SacWorks also covers blockchain technology being used for material tracking, ensuring transparency in recycling chains and helping verify sustainable sourcing or reuse claims.
Product-as-a-service models—where users subscribe to use instead of owning—are part of this shift. SacWorks explains how companies now rent lighting, clothing, or electronics, designing products to be returned and repurposed at end of life.
SacWorks believes technology will be the key enabler of circular business models, allowing companies to thrive economically while meeting environmental goals.
