Embedding Circular Economy Strategies in Sri Lankan Businesses

As Sri Lanka’s circular economy landscape evolves and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) becomes an increasingly important consideration for businesses, organisations will need to look beyond compliance and consider how circularity can be embedded across their value chains.

This report explores five key areas through which businesses can embed circularity across the value chain: design for circularity, sustainable procurement, circular operations, reverse logistics, and consumer engagement. It also examines the evolving EPR landscape in Sri Lanka and how EPR can enable circular outcomes across the value chain.

The report provides boards, executives and sustainability leaders with a practical framework to assess their organisation’s circular readiness, identify capability gaps, and develop a structured pathway towards EPR compliance and a broader circular transition. It also highlights how organisations can strengthen resource efficiency, build supply-chain resilience, reduce dependence on virgin resources and create long-term value through circularity.
