3 CONDITIONS FOR CIRCULATOR ECONOMY COLLABORATION, INITIATIVE AND INNOVATIONS
7
Collaboration
• Quantifiable ESG to drive both investments and cooperation along value chain actors
Initiative
• Call for industry initiative/regulation to set objectives/constraints to push the transformation of the value chains
Innovations
• New attractive business models to use longer and smarter
• Ecodesign innovation to use renewable feedstocks for plastics
• For metals, the way forward is to use less, use longer and yet the ultimate solution is recycling with e-waste mining potentially creating a new source of growth and green jobs
