If you want to know how the circular economy has become a central topic in the economy and why, you should read “From Rebel to Radical Innovator.” The book combines a very personal perspective from one of the pioneers with specific case studies across many industries.
Albin Kälin talks about how he became the first industrial user of Cradle-to-Cradle. Yes, chance played a part. But more important was the will to make business models and business practices fit for the future. Modernity, quality, sustainability — at Kälin, these go hand in hand. And why not? There is no waste in the eternal cycle of things.
“From Rebel to Radical Innovator” offers a life story with a handbook character.

Cradle to Cradle - a concept that is highly topical but is only slowly becoming generally known. Albin Kälin was already convinced of this concept 30 years ago and was actively looking for solutions for a sustainable future.
The book is a lexicon about the development of the Cradle to Cradle concept and provides assistance and ideas for your own projects.
Who could explain the idea better?

The time has come for a paradigm shift—a transition from linear to circular thinking. Much like switching from left-handed to right-handed, this shift requires a deliberate and transformative process.
This workshop is designed to guide you through this cognitive transformation. We understand that embracing circular thinking isn't a simple task; it's about fundamentally altering how we approach problems and solutions. Once that mental "click" happens, you'll find yourself adept at applying circular thinking across various domains.
This isn't merely about creating cycles within a linear framework; it's about eliminating the linear constraints altogether. This calls for a holistic redesign of all products, adhering to the philosophy of "Rethinking the way we make things."
Join our workshop, and let's embark on this transformative journey together.
