2 Companies with business models that are environment friendly -
1. Patagonia addresses climate change by eliminating virgin petroleum-based materials in its products by 2025, increasing the use of recycled and regenerative organic materials, and aiming for net-zero emissions by 2040. They also operate the Worn Wear program to extend product lifespans, fund environmental work through 1% for the Planet, and committed all company ownership to a trust for climate action.
2. IKEA's circular economy steps include designing for circularity from the outset, using renewable and recycled materials, offering recommerce services like furniture buy-back and resale marketplaces, expanding spare parts and repair services, and investing in sustainable forestry and renewable energy. The goal is to shift from a linear "take, make, waste" model to one where products are built to last longer and can be reused, refurbished, remanufactured, or recycled, ultimately aiming to be a fully circular business by 2030.
