This next era is about sustainability.

Creating ecoystems for upstream innovation and circular models of value creation

Business as usual simply cannot continue. Governments and companies around the world are looking for alternative approaches to drive future growth. The circular economy is one of the few viable and scalable growth models that can radically improve resource productivity to reverse these trends. And, in the process, drive greater innovation and job creation. Better yet, it promises to transform the dynamics of competitiveness and bestow real competitive advantage to early movers.

In this new environment, the unit cost of resources becomes less of a factor because instead of using additional resources to manufacture new goods, companies and customers use what’s already in the market. Focus shifts from producing things from virgin resources to transferring existing products between users and transforming used products into new ones. Good news for you: Costa Rica holds 6% of the Earth's biodiversity and is starting to gain traction towards sustainable business models and making the world a better, greener, long-lasting place.
