A circular economy with #plastics requires more than just #recycling and #reusing. It involves rethinking waste and adding value to products at every stage of the #lifecycle. The R-ladder helps us determine the best strategies, such as reducing material use and extending product lifespans. Add the O-strategies for circular choices in design, production, and use, and you create a powerful combination for maximum environmental benefits. Discover how to implement the R-ladder and O-strategies in your processes > https://tno.to/7bab39 #circulareconomy #sustainability #Innovation

People sometimes think that the circular economy is a matter of recycling. ♻️ But what it really involves is so much more. For example: - 9Rs - Design - Longer life - Procurement - Consuming less - Waste prevention - Usership > ownership - Circular business models - Closed-loop supply chains - Reverse logistics & takebacks And a bunch of other stuff. In 2024, the circular economy is about transforming how we think, design, and consume. It's about creating systems that support sustainability at every level. Thanks Vojtech Vosecky / The Circular Economist for another great co-lab! ⭐ What do you think are the biggest drivers for making the circular economy the only economy? #CircularEconomy #the_circular_economist #Sustainability #GreenFuture #WastePrevention #SustainableDesign #CircularBusiness

How close are we to a world where everything, from towering skyscrapers to the smallest household item, is designed with its entire lifecycle in mind? The circular economy envisions a future free from waste, where materials are continuously reused, recycled, and repurposed. But substantial technological, financial, and regulatory obstacles stand in the way. We analyse the potential futures ahead for the circular economy through four scenarios.
