The circular economy is characterised by being regenerative by design, seeking to ensure that all products and materials maintain their maximum usefulness at all times.
It presents numerous opportunities for organisations:
- Reduction of input costs (e.g. by using returned materials instead of raw materials) and new revenue streams (e.g. by offering the product as a service, PaaS).
- Increased security of supply and reduced exposure to price volatility
- New business opportunities: reverse logistics, reconditioning, collaborative platforms, etc.
- Closer proximity to the user and availability of information on usage
The EU presented in 2018 a circular economy package incentivising manufacturers to put more sustainable products on the market and support collection and recycling schemes.
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is, with 25-30% of the total, the second largest waste in the EU. Legislation stipulates that by 2020 at least 70% should be subject to recovery and reuse processes.
