 Abstract

The Master’s programme Industrial Ecology is jointly organised by Leiden University and Delft University of Technology. In order to enable service providers to support businesses in adopting Circular economy as new paradigm, backcasting is suggested as suitable method. By 1. selecting appropriate tools to complete the five phases of backcasting, 2. applying these tools for the Dutch furniture sector, and 3. evaluating the results of the tools used, an optimized method to support businesses in identifying guiding visions and practical proposals was identified, which is called "Circular Backcasting for Businesses".
