dc.description.abstract | The linear ‘take, make, waste’ model, which took
hold with the first industrial revolution and has
powered economic development around the globe
since then, has an enormous environmental and
carbon footprint. Resource extraction, processing
of materials and fuels, and food production account
for an estimated 50% of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and are responsible for 90% of biodiver-
sity loss and water stress (situations where water
resources in a country or region do not meet needs)
(European Commission, 2019). Mainstreaming and
upscaling renewables to reduce the environmental
footprint of energy production systems will cut 55%
of current CO 2 emissions at most. Reducing the
remaining 45% will require a fundamental change
in how goods are made and used. The circular
economy concept, which surfaced in economic
circles for the first time in 1988 (Kneese, 1988), is a
response to that challenge (Box 1) |
