Case study
Embedding eco-design into the costume development of a theme park
Summary
Supporting the operational teams of a major theme park in embedding eco-design into the development of its costumes.
Challenge
Analyse existing practices, identify the specific features of each costume category, factor in the constraints of the different roles (thematic variability, seasonality, resistance to wear, washing and outdoor exposure) and enable the operational teams to build their own strategy.
Details
From analysis to field deployment.
Challenge
A major French theme park wanted to reduce the environmental impact of its costumes, a significant hotspot, by rolling out eco-design strategies across operational, character and show costumes.
Solution
Hands-on support alongside the operational teams in two phases:
- A value chain diagnostic to understand the development process and identify practices, constraints and opportunities.
- Themed modules enabling the teams to define and roll out eco-design within their own roles (expert input, inspiring examples, lessons learned and a hands-on workshop).
Results
Eco-design themes covered
8
Operational staff briefed
+100
Deliverables:
- Suppliers and partners brought into the process.
- Eco-design strategies built by the operational teams covering the entire value chain (reducing quantities, responsible materials, design for disassembly, good handling practices, end-of-life recovery, etc.).
FAQ
What you need to know about us.
What is Circul'R?
Circul'R is a consulting firm specializing in the circular economy. Since 2016, we have supported over 150 large companies and public entities through consulting projects, sector coalitions, training programs, and the Circul'R Club.
How does Circul'R differ from a generalist CSR consulting firm?
Unlike a generalist CSR firm, Circul'R has specialized exclusively in the circular economy since 2016. This cross-functional expertise—covering supply chains, regulations (AGEC, EPR, ESPR), and business models—allows us to turn circularity into a measurable competitive advantage, including impact reduction, resource security, compliance, and new growth drivers.
Who is Circul'R for?
Circul'R advises large private companies—including many CAC 40 and SBF 120 groups—on strategic decisions across all sectors. We also support organizations that implement public circular economy policies, such as eco-organizations, agencies, donors, and local authorities.
What services does Circul'R offer?
Circul'R offers four complementary services: bespoke consulting to structure your circular strategy, sector-specific coalitions to solve shared business challenges, training programs to build circular economy skills, and the Circul'R Club, a network for companies committed to the circular transition.
What is Circul'R's expertise regarding circular economy regulations (EPR, AGEC, CSRD)?
Circul'R guides clients through the entire French and European regulatory framework for the circular economy, including the AGEC law, EPR schemes, and CSRD, as well as recent European legislation like the PPWR, ESPR, and CRMA. We translate these obligations into operational roadmaps, turning compliance requirements into strategic advantages.
What is the process for a consulting project with Circul'R?
A project begins with a diagnostic of your circular challenges, covering areas like supply, eco-design, business models, and regulations. Circul'R then builds a prioritized, quantified roadmap and supports the operational deployment of selected actions, right through to impact measurement and continuous trajectory adjustment.
How do you measure the results of your projects?
We define tailored circularity indicators upfront—such as materials saved, reuse rates, footprint reduction, and value generated—and track their progress throughout the project to ensure concrete business and environmental results.
Do you work only in France or internationally as well?
Based in Paris, Circul'R operates primarily in France and Europe. Internationally, we support cooperation projects, including sharing French expertise on EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) and assisting donors with their circular transition programs in emerging countries, leveraging a network of operational partners and sector experts.
