Accelerating transition to a Circular Economy

Circular Automotive Conference, Bratislava, Slovakia 7 November 2017

Why a Circular Economy?

Increase recycling, upcycling, component harvesting and energy recovery

Was asted res esources

Introduce renewable and bio-based materials, chemicals and energy

Was asted cap apacity

Increase sharing, co-owning, co-using, resource pooling, etc.

Was asted lif lifecycles

Lifecycle services for resell, maintain, repair, remanufacture, etc.

Logistics Marketing & Sales Product Use End of Life Disposal Reverse Logistics Sourcing Manufacturing

$1.7trillion $0.6 trillion $1.3 trillion $0.9 trillion

Material and energy that cannot be continually regenerated Underutilized or unused products and assets Premature end

• f working life of products

Was asted em embedded val alues

Components, material and energy not recovered at disposal

The Value at Stake

A global public-private collaboration for action to decouple resource use from growth, creating systems change at speed and scale

Collaboration

Grow the movement for change by engaging businesses, policy makers, thought leaders and innovators in a global leadership network

Action

Initiate prototype projects to advance the circular economy and replicate blueprints of success

Knowledge Exchange

Exchange expertise and connect with peers to advance business models, 4IR technology innovations, design solutions and policy approaches for the circular economy

A global public-private collaboration to flip the system of linear resource use

Applications for leveraging the circular economy approach

Recovery & Recycling Sustainable Production Product as a Service Product Life-Extension Sharing Platform

Develop and supply renewable and/or fully recyclable input material to replace or supplement raw materials, as well as utilize clean energy in production. Recover useful resources from disposed products and put back into production through return chain, reprocessing and re/upcycling Extend working life of products through repairs, maintenance, second hand, donations, etc. Offer product access rather than ownership where supplier take responsibility for product lifecycle management Drive up utilization rate

• f products by making

possible shared use / access / ownership

Spotlight on Public sector Leadership

Policy initiatives, driven at a local, regional or national level, are hugely successful in driving circular economy progress. Leading examples include:

The Scottish Government – Winner, The Circulars 2017

• ‘Making Things Last’ strategy applied to Scotland business and public sector
• Industry specific focus relevant to Scottish industry strengths
• Quantified impact: £180m in savings, 32,000 tons diverted from landfill

China Association of Circular Economy – Runner Up, The Circulars 2017

• 700 member strong organisation driving circular policy in China
• Focus on specific industrial chains in specific regions
• Circular economy is now embedded into China’s Five-Year plan

The Netherlands – A country leading the way in circular economy

• Clear government strategy and backing gives confidence to business, finance and policy to drive the

circular economy

• Wide range of circular economy initiatives, notably Circular Hotspot and Circle Economy
• Clear and measurable success – 69 entries to The Circulars since 2015
