Our company
GOLDESELCHEN GmbH was founded in March 2024 with the aim of offering its customers sustainable benefits. Our world is changing faster and faster and we help our customers to adapt to these changes with our products and services.
In the context of the industrial revolution, value creation processes were built up in a linear structure. Thereby the mass production of consumer goods follows a simple principle, the "linear economy":
Take | extraction of natural resources as the basis for production |
Make | production of the goods |
Use | single use |
Dispose | disposal at the end of useful life |
In view of our planetary boundaries, this linear economic model of mass production and mass consumption is not practicable in the long term.
The "circular economy" offers an alternative here. The circular economy is by no means new. Many traditional forms of value creation, such as pre-industrial agriculture, can be described as a circular system. The energy required for production was generated directly on the cultivated land in the form of human labor and animal muscle power. The residual materials and production residues, such as animal excrement and straw, were fed directly back into the farm's own production.
Today, a distinction is made between the following process stages in the circular economy:
Refuse | avoidance of natural primary resources |
Redesign | new development of recyclable goods |
Rethink | rethinking the use of manufactured goods |
Reduce | reduction of raw materials |
Reuse | reuse of used goods |
Repair | repairing defective goods |
Refurbish | reconditioning used goods |
Remanufacture | reuse of functional assemblies |
Repurpose | reuse with a different purpose |
Recycle | processing waste to recover raw materials |
Recover | energy recovery from residual materials |
Relax | when the cycle is successfully closed |
