CIRCULAR ECONOMY: CHEAPER RESOURCES, MORE JOBS

The opportunities of a circular economy are already proven in a lot of research reports. The most important: Carbon, Jobs and Resources.

It still will take a few years when all industries, businesses, governments and citizens work together to reduce our primary material consumption but the awareness is growing.

In this dossier we show you possibilities and best practices. Want to know more about criteria, frameworks and measuring tools to transform Europe to a circular economy? This is the link – Roadmap to a Circular Economy in Europe

Prevent spills

• Looking for best methods to save energy in any industry?
• Industry: get ready for less water and more efficient use

To transform to a circular economy we need:

1. Global Standard Framework – a definition of waste, e-regulations, best practice and a stimulation of demands (proven business models)
2. Quality targets and standards for materials and C2C products certifying
3. Design – new product design that ensures complete and efficient recycling and reuse of materials
4. Tax on waste instead of tax on labour (Sweden 60% tax on labour, 6% tax on waste)
5. Economic incentives to increase demands
6. Insight into processes (data)
7. Changing the word Waste into Valuables!
