To make circularity easier to understand, Prof. Dr. Jacqueline Cramer, former Minister of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment, has created the 10R ladder that indicates the degree of circularity. The greener the level, the higher the contribution.

Only as a collective of people and business chain, can we work toward a circular economy that goes far beyond just recycling old products. Circospin focuses particularly on practical solutions to extend the life of products and components (steps 4 through 8), because they are immediately implementable and also produce immediate results.

Manufacturers themselves are primarily responsible for complying with steps one 1 through 3, but Circospin can play an advisory role in this based on past experience. The final steps 9 and 10 have already been set up by the better and certified processors.
