    The VCA developed the Circular Economy Innovation Frameworks, which includes guidance and templates to developing and establishing a circular economy innovation within a business. The frameworks support you to navigate the emerging circular economy body of knowledge and identify a pathway to accelerate both disruptive and iterative innovations.
The frameworks include:
- Section 1: understanding the transition from linear to circular
- Section 2: Explore the key circular strategies
- Section 3: Embed circular economy strategies into the business model
- Section 4: Partner to compound impact
