Looking beyond the current take-make-dispose extractive industrial model, a circular economy aims to redefine growth, focusing on positive society-wide benefits. It entails gradually decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources, and designing waste out of the system. Underpinned by a transition to renewable energy sources, the circular model builds economic, natural, and social capital. It is based on three principles: Design out waste and pollution. Keep products and materials in use. Regenerate natural systems.
Discuss Circularity with our thought leaders: What is driving this improved design, performance and ESG reporting?? What trends do we see around the whole product life cycle and embodied carbon.
