Tchibo | Head of Circularity & Environment

Kristina Kölling drives Tchibo’s shift towards circular business models. After years in product management, bringing more than 300 products to market, she now focuses on a key question: how can a mainstream retailer truly become circular? Through the Circular Solutions Lab, which she co-founded, she develops strategies that extend product lifecycles and connect circular design with scalable circular services.
