Our Solutions
We offer three categories of outputs, depending on the current stage a circularity project is in. MESH can support in...
Identify Potential
Before committing resources, it’s crucial to understand where your biggest opportunities for impact and performance lie. This is where our partner Indeed Innovation excels – with dedicated tools and proven approaches to help you explore potential solutions and map circular configurations for your business. This step sets the stage for informed decisions and ensures your project starts with clarity.
Deciding Course of Action
Deciding which path to take can be daunting when trade-offs between cost, performance, and sustainability are complex. We use scientifically sound models to quantify synergies and risks, build robust abatement curves and systems maps, and make hidden system interactions transparent. This gives you the clarity to secure internal buy-in, anticipate customer behavior, and select the direction that will deliver the highest impact on your triple bottom line.
Set Your Pilot Up for Success
Pilots are an essential tool to validate ideas before full-scale rollout, helping you learn quickly and refine solutions. We work with you to design a pilot that captures the right data, define success criteria, and later translate the results into actionable insights. This ensures that your pilot generates meaningful learning and provides a solid foundation for scaling decisions.
Scaling
In the scaling phase, the challenges depend on the exact systems being evaluated. We help you tackle critical questions such as:
- Business model trade-offs
- Decision making for scaling targets
- Pricing of circular solutions
- Decision making for vertical integration in production
- Management of variance in return flow
Our approach addresses both production-related questions and broader business ecosystem considerations.
Optimizing
Once your solution is operational, optimization ensures it keeps delivering value. We work with you to identify leverage points, fine-tune processes, and maximize both financial and sustainability performance. This phase turns good results into excellent, resilient outcomes for the long term.
Method
System-Dynamics (SD) Modelling
We build a tailored, stock-and-flow model of your circular value chain to simulate circular reconfigurations. It reveals bottlenecks, cost drivers, and leverage points, making complexity usable.
Make circularity economically viable
Our Approach allows you to identify hidden costs and potential revenue streams by uncovering second and third order effects of your value chain changes. Based on one individual model, we can quantify economic and ecological KPIs in one output, enabling the correct evaluation of tradeoffs.
Stress-test circular strategies
Using these SD models, we test your prospective circular value chain's resilience and dependancies. This allows for the anticipation of potential difficulties in the implementation of the new circular business model.

About MESH
We believe circularity should be more than an aspiration. It should be a clear path to a thriving business and a thriving planet. Our role is to make that path visible. We are a Zurich-based consultancy dedicated to turning circular economy ambition into actionable results. We bring a quantitative, system-wide perspective to the challenge, helping organizations align sustainability goals with business success. We see complexity not as a barrier but as a resource. By combining context with data, we turn circular challenges into opportunities to solve core business problems – from strategic uncertainty to operational inefficiency. Our approach helps organizations replace guesswork with simulation, intuition with shared mental models, and static plans with adaptive strategies. We see patterns where others see chaos. We turn complexity into confident decisions. We make circularity a driver of growth and impact. Our mission is clear: use circularity as a tool to unlock innovation, build resilience, and create lasting value – for organizations, people, and the planet.
