Closing the loop on the linear economy

What if we lived in a world of circularity that transformed our myriad of stuff into valuable resources through reuse? At Rheaply, we believe there is a fourth principle that truly puts us on the path to a circular economy—connecting our global value chain.

Circularity is for every business

Today, assets often lack visibility and reuse potential, stuck in a take-make-waste cycle. This cycle generates overwhelming amounts of stuff that often sits idle in our closets, storage units, and landfills. From offices to factories, reuse offers a powerful way to reduce waste, cut costs, and drive environmental impact.

Efficiency

Streamline procurement, purchasing, and operations by keeping resources in use.

Sustainability

Reduce consumption of finite resources to make a real impact on carbon emissions, pollution, and climate change.

Equity

Support the economic mobility of marginalized communities to empower systems to change.

What is the circular economy?

The circular economy is a resilient system that benefits businesses, people, and the environment by keeping products and materials in use instead of throwing them away. Ultimately, we believe that it’s a transformation of our global systems based on four main principles:

Explore the players in our connected circular economy

To create a thriving circular economy, we need an entire ecosystem to make it work. Everyone—no matter their industry or role—has a place in the circular economy and the Rheaply network.

Supply organization

An organization with a large number of resources looking to sell, donate, or reuse those resources to save money and reduce waste.

Internal reuser

An employee willing to reuse items from the surplus supply of their own organization.

External reuser

Local nonprofits, liquidators, or remanufacturers who procure second-life items.

Service provider

An organization that provides a service to help power the circular economy (e.g. logistics, storage, or remanufacturing companies).

Network sponsor

An enterprise or city government sponsors a virtual resource exchange in a specific demographic (location and/or resource type)

Manufacturer

An organization that produces a finished product that is sold directly to an end user or components for another company’s end product.
