Circular Economy A circular economy promotes the notion of waste as a resource further, to a systems approach considering how biological and technical materials move throughout the economy. Decouple economic growth and development Enables a high standard of living and quality of life. Conserving finite resources and protecting the environment for future generations. Transitioning to the circular economy will catalyze the most transformational economic, social and environmental changes since the First Industrial Revolution Ellen MacArthur Foundation . http://docs.wbcsd.org/2017/06/CEO_Guide_to_CE.pdf
Circular Economy : Advantages Circular Economy focuses on: Minimizing the use of resources Reusing the product, service Sustainably designing the product and services Improving the system efficiency Minimizing the system externalities Circular Economy generates 4 technological needs: advanced collection, sorting and recycling….apps , sensors, robots,.. efficient materials processing….machine learning, artificial intelligence,.. production to support design for circularity….3D printing, disassembly, repairability,.. interactive platforms….apps , websites, databases, IoT ,… Ellen MacArthur Foundation .
Integrating Industry 4.0 for Circular Economy The new set of diverse and complex set of technologies are crucial for promoting transition to circular economy at a higher level. These range from Internet Of Things, 3D printing to Artificial Intelligence and machine to machine computing. Source: 8 th Regional 3R Forum, presentation circular economy and 4.0 industry
