Why we developed this methodology
The story behind the methodology
Here is a table of potentiften prioritize financial returns while overlooking the broader implications of their operations on society and the environment. As the world faces escalating climate, social equity, and resource depletion challenges, there is a pressing need for businesses to shift toward regenerative impact models—approaches that restore and enrich rather than simply reduce harm.
Circular economy strategies (e.g., waste-to-resource systems, product-as-a-service models, closed-loop manufacturing) aim to keep materials in use and design out waste. But their systemic benefits often go undocumented. Triple accountability connects circular actions to real-world economic inclusion, community well-being, and environmental restoration.
A Triple Accountability Methodology is essential for building credible, regenerative business cases within the circular economy. It ensures that innovation is not only technically efficient but also socially just and ecologically beneficial. By integrating circular economy strategies with this multidimensional lens, businesses can lead the shift from sustainability as compliance to regeneration as core strategy—creating lasting value for both present and future generations.
Below you will find a table of potential benefits circular strategies can bring to your business model.
Circular Symbiosis
We wanted to help sparking new ideas, bring innovation in new directions with a one of a kind free library of potential transformation and usages of wasted materials.

Our 6 steps workshop program
STEP 1: LIFE CYCLE MAPPING
As a startup business project, expansion of your current activities, Life Cycle Mapping is a powerful tool used to analyze and visualize the complete journey of a product, material, or service — from cradle to grave (or ideally, cradle to cradle in circular economy terms). It helps identify resource use, environmental impacts, and circular opportunities at each stage of a product's life.
Life Cycle Mapping is not just a diagnostic tool — it's a strategic framework for redesigning products, reducing harm, and creating value loops in the circular economy.
We will go over the Raw Material Extraction, Material Processing & Manufacturing, Distribution & Transport, Use Phase, and End-of-Life life cycle stages.
STEP 2: STAKEHOLDERS INSIGHT
Mapping and planning the required engagement with key stakeholders (e.g., businesses, researchers, policymakers, partnerships, and consumers) and gauge their willingness to adopt changes in your current products or services life cycle improvements is key to the project's success.
This will serve in evaluating the feasibility of the selected improvement strategies when confronted to the stakeholder's ecosystem mobilization around your project.
It involves conducting market research to assess demand, competition, and consumer interest in your products and services solutions if they are new.
STEP 3: CURRENT REGENERATIVE TRIPLE IMPACTS
We use a grid to position the regenerability and distributivity impacts of the life cycle activities mapped earlier. This helps translate innovations into quantifiable value across a range of benefits such as:
- Local jobs and skills development (Social)
- Cost savings and revenue streams (Economic)
- Carbon reduction and biodiversity gains (Environmental)
By focusing on localized impact, this framework ensures activities are place-based, respecting local needs, and resource flows. This is key to building equitable, decentralized added value systems.
STEP 4: POTENTIALS IDENTIFICATION
From the results of the regenerability and distributivity of your activities, we will guide you in recognizing hotspots of potential for improvements.
These potential areas of intervention will go through a prioritization analysis based on the stakeholder contribution capacity and pressure insight, and the level of current non-regenerative improvable impacts, and feasibility estimation.
Most frameworks focus on minimizing negative impacts. However, regeneration goes further—replenishing ecosystems, revitalizing local economies, and empowering communities. A triple accountability model makes regenerative goals measurable and actionable.
STEP 5: CIRCULAR STRATEGIES
We will introduce you to a range of Circular Economy strategies and business models that will inspire to rethink the targeted hotspots of your life cycle evaluation such as these:
- Product-as-a-Service (leasing or sharing instead of selling).
- Upcycling & Remanufacturing (giving waste materials a second life).
- Material Recovery & Recycling (closing the loop on resource use).
- Reverse Logistics & Take-Back Systems (designing for reusability and collection).
The applicability of these strategies is based on the interrelated territorial triple regenerative impacts of Economic, Social, and Environmental added value that your project brings top the territory of your activities.
STEP 6: SUSTAINABILITY SCENARIO
At the end of this short journey your organization will have structured a map of its present or forecasted of the operating activities.
This scenario will serve as your own Theory of Change to integrate triple regeneration impacts in as much as possible every impact of your activities.
With this clear view, you will have the option to modify your scenario in time as your activities are delivered in time and contexts changes.
You will now be ready piloting initiatives to test the business model, gather feedback, and refine the approach before full-scale implementation. This will also be key in defining or refining your business model and help get selected by investors and adopters of your project.
