Understanding the Circular Economy

"Research shows the transition to renewable energy can only address 55% of emissions; the remaining 45% comes from producing cars, clothes, food and everyday products. Circular economy models offer a clear pathway to achieving our collective climate goals, tackling emissions tied to extraction, processing, manufacturing and landfilling of goods.

Waste is a global challenge that requires a multitude of creative solutions. Decreasing waste while enabling circularity through innovative methods should capture the imagination of consumers, companies and global policymakers." -World Economic Forum
