- The Biosphere Rules is a framework for implementing closed loop production in business. They emerged from a 2005 research project at IE Business School that identified the principles that facilitate circular processes in nature but interpreted for—and translated to—industrial production systems. The research indicated that adopting the principles allowed businesses to establish economically and environmentally sustainable closed-loop manufacturing systems. The five principles that constitute the Biosphere Rules are briefly: 1. Materials parsimony. Minimize the types of materials used in products with a focus on materials that are life-friendly and economically recyclable. 2. Value cycle. Recover and reincarnate materials from end-of-use goods into new value-added products. 3. Power autonomy. Maximize the power autonomy of products and processes so they can function on renewable energy. 4. Sustainable product platforms. Leverage value cycles as product platforms for profitable scale, scope, and knowledge economies. 5. Function over form. Fulfill customers’ functional needs in ways that sustain the value cycle. This biomimetic framework contends that these principles facilitate the transition of human manufacturing systems business towards a functioning circular economy. (en)
