Erland Riis (DK/SE)

Circular Business Architect

The Circular Economy (CE) promises us to maintain or even develop our current lifestyle with the use of less resources and energy – together with a lower climate impact. Therefore, we need answers to at least two central and critical questions: A. Can CE deliver on promises? B. If yes, how do we go from a linear to a circular economy?

Erland Riis has worked as a Circular Business Architect for the last 10 years for large companies like IKEA, DUNI Group and even small start-ups like Nordic Circular Link. He likes to share his learnings – both successes and failures – and most importantly, inspire with tips and tools to how you do in real cases.

Erland named himself a Business Architect because circularity starts in the design, but his daily work is mostly about creating good business that is more efficient, uses less resources and leaves less trash.
