Is recycling an outdated solution? Some might say it is, this is where the Circular Economy steps in. What we need is to go beyond recycling and build the framework for a truly circular economy, and we need businesses of all sizes and shapes to step up and take this challenge head-on.
Where did it all go wrong?
In 1684 Thomas Savery invented the steam engine and it changed everything. This invention kick-started the industrial revolution, which transformed our ability to make things. Raw materials and energy were seemingly infinite, and labor was readily available. For the first time in history, goods were mass-produced.
The linear economy has to change, we must disrupt the system. We must transform all the elements of the take-make-waste system: how we manage resources, how we make and use products, and what we do with the materials afterward. The longer materials and resources are in use, the more value is extracted from them. Extending the life of products and materials prevents the over-generation of waste and recovers the full value of products.
By changing our supply chains, our communities, and the environment, can be on the right path to a healthier, more sustainable economic recovery. Only then can we create a thriving economy that can benefit everyone within the limits of our planet.
