ABB Circularity Framework
ABB’s strategy focuses on preserving resources at every stage of a product’s lifecycle, from design and sourcing, through production and use, all the way to responsible end-of-life services. It is a key element of ABB’s sustainability agenda and business models based on circularity can play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Our circularity model aims to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency by recycling, reusing, and regenerating resources. It moves beyond the wasteful linear model of “take-make-dispose”, to embrace the circular model: “reduce-reuse-recycle”. By valuing waste as a resource, we can reduce dependence on virgin materials, lower emissions, and restore ecosystems.
