A simple question, yet one that is difficult to answer. Indeed, a recent study cites over 100 definitions of ‘Circular Economy’. These span from more ‘traditional’ ideas of recycling and waste management to a complete transformation of the global economy.
For the NICER Programme, the CE is a system that is resilient, restorative and regenerative by design. An innovation framework and set of strategies to help us rethink and revaluate the value of our resources, materials and products.
But what does that actually mean?
Currently, most of what we consume flows through a ‘linear’ economy. Products are made, used and thrown away. Each person in the UK is thought to consume around 17 tonnes of materials annually, the equivalent weight of 15 small family cars. It is estimated that to support this level of consumption for everyone in the world would require around three planets’ worth of resources. This is unsustainable.
