Consulting & Advisory Services
From strategy to execution — your partner in building a circular future
In an era when linear models are reaching their limits, your brand’s ability to adapt and innovate is essential. Our consulting practice offers hands-on, deeply informed guidance to help you embed circular principles across design, operations, sourcing, and brand strategy.
Why Work with Us?
Proven Upcycling Expertise — We design and prototype in our Upcycling Lab in Štip, North Macedonia, with both UK and Turkey production capabilities.
Global Reach, Local Execution — Our network spans UK, Europe, and the US — ensuring consistency across territories while enabling local circular growth.
End-to-end Integration — From design ideation to supply chain, from repair to resale, we counsel on full lifecycle strategies.
Sustainable Impact & Profitability — We help you meet rigorous environmental goals (e.g. science-based targets) while unlocking new revenue streams via circular business models.
Our Advisory Framework
We structure our consulting into modular but interconnected “Labs” and service pillars. Clients can engage in one or more modules depending on their goals:
| Pillar / Lab | What We Do | Outcomes & Value |
|---|---|---|
| Design Lab | Circular design, material innovation, modularity, repairability | Lower waste, more reuse potential, differentiated products |
| Sourcing & Materials Lab | Audit current supply chains, integrate recycled/upcycled materials, supplier partnerships | Reduced environmental impact, supply chain resilience |
| Operations & Manufacturing Lab | Process redesign for disassembly, reverse logistics, production scaling | Leaner flows, lowered costs, circular-ready operations |
| Repair & Service Lab | After-sales repair, refurbishment processes, service design | Extended product lifetime, enhanced customer loyalty |
| Upcycling & Recommerce Lab | Rework, remanufacture, resale, resale platform strategies | New revenue from returns and pre-owned channels |
| Education & Capacity Building | Workshops, training, team upskilling, stakeholder engagement | Internal capability, culture shifts, ecosystem growth |
Clients often combine multiple Labs into a comprehensive consulting roadmap, but you can also engage with individual streams depending on your needs.
Typical Client Engagements
Circular Strategy Roadmap – A 6–12 month engagement to chart your brand’s transition path, defining which models (repair, rental, resale, upcycling) suit your offer.
Upcycled Collection Launch – Co-design, prototyping, material sourcing, pricing, and go-to-market support for a circular capsule line.
Supply Chain Transformation – Guidance to shift to recycled inputs, set up return flows, partner with reverse logistics providers.
Repair & Aftercare Program Design – Build an in-house or partner repair/refurbishment system to boost product lifetime and brand loyalty.
Training & Workshops – In-house training sessions, stakeholder workshops, circular design sprints to build your internal capabilities.
Our Approach
Discovery & Assessment
We begin with audits: product lines, supply chains, return flows, costs, and carbon footprint. This uncovers quick wins and long-term levers.
Joint Design & Co-Creation
We don’t just advise — we co-create with your team: prototyping, ideation, testing, and iteration.
Pilot & Scale
We recommend launching small tests (e.g. capsule collections, pilot repair programs) before scaling across full lines and geographies.
Monitoring & Optimization
We help you define metrics (e.g. material circularity, return rates, revenue from resale) and refine programs over time.
Why We Are Different
- Grounded in Practice — We aren’t just consultants: we run our own labs and manufacturing, so our advice is grounded in on-the-ground realities.
- Circular First, Not Greenwashing — Focus on structural change rather than surface-level sustainability.
- Cross-Market Consistency — Because we operate across Macedonia, UK, Turkey, and the US, we help clients scale circular solutions globally.
- Ecosystem Builders — We actively foster the circular fashion network, connecting brands, reverse logistics operators, upcycling studios, and training institutions.
