Circular Economy; 4 important pillars
Reduce and manage waste
– e.g. Bio-based reproduction of greenhouse waste or heat recovery from
the greenhouse sector for the benefit of private households
Stimulate co-operation and interaction between different
value chains
– e.g. Refurbishment of obsolete wine barrels into wooden garden
furniture
Design for reproduction (multiple life cycles)
– E.g. Design to anticipate the reuse of component modules or increase
scrap values for carpet tiles, trailers, office furniture, cars etc.
Re-design of business models based on ‘temporary’
usage
– E.g. Rental solutions including full operational services and risk retention
during the subsequent economic life cycles

Leasing is the ideal method of ‘acquiring’
equipment
Movable assets
Fixed repayments
Fixed terms
No other security is required
Payments can be tailored to mirror
the cash flow of the business
In general carry a lower interest rate
The term is designed to match the economic
life of the equipment
Leasing enables better management of
cash flow and does not put a financial strain
on the business
15. 15
De Lage Landen
Pay for use rather than ownership of
equipment
Owner of the equipment (the lessor)
agrees to let another party (the lessee)
use the equipment for a specified period
of time for the payment of rentals
Customer chooses to lease equipment
Benefit from the usage of it
Keep valuable working capital within the business
16. 16
De Lage Landen
Benefits
Obsolescence protection
No burden of ownership
No risk of obsolescence because of upgrade options
Usage of the equipment
But no worries of equipment write-offs
No other unexpected costs of maintenance and service
100% financing
Full financing of the investment
Finance other costs (installation, maintenance, service and insurance)

Life Cycle Asset Management: 2 Examples
Linde, Forklifts
– Linde : 3 Factory Certified Levels for refurbished forklifts
– Customer demands: desire for lower utilization costs by large fleet owners,
lower entry barrier to select Tier 1 material
– DLL provided sales force of Linde with a pre-defined residual value matrix
based on level of refurbishment
– Forklifts < 7 years and < 7000 running hours
Schmitz Cargobull, Curtain Sider Trailers
– Life Cycle Trailer Management: Srapping - Reusing - Refurbishing
– Scrapping: scrap values End of Life determined during a pilot, research
showed consistent raw material prices
– Reusing – Refurbishment: refurbishment costs depend on economies of
scale, matureness of the refurbishment process, scrap values of the replaced
components
– Next phase: scrap large number of trailers and bring large number of
refurbished 2nd life trailers to German market
