To decarbonize, the materials industry must embrace the circular economy
This article was originally published in Circulate News. Read it here. The transition to renewable energy is an essential part of the fight against climate change. But it will only address 55 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, to meet the target set in the Paris Agreement, the remaining 45 percent of emissions from industry, agriculture and land-use need to be addressed as well.
Digitalization enables the circular economy transition — it's time to lean into it | Greenbiz
This article originally appeared on Circulate News. Steel is not infinitely recycled. For instance, much of the high-grade steels recovered from vehicles are downcycled into a lower-price material and mostly reused in lower-grade applications, such as buildings and infrastructures. Indeed, not aware of the quality of the steel they collect, recyclers mix steel grades, producing a lower-quality recycled material.
Circular economy principles could help businesses face the worst recession ever
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many hospitals faced a major shortage of personal protective equipment, ventilators and other essential medical supplies. By applying circular economy principles, various businesses actively helped hospitals face this shortage. They extended the life of single-use masks, designed reusable masks, refurbished ventilators, gave access to their internal repair manuals and printed spare parts to repair life-saving equipment.
How companies - from automotive to apparel - can transform waste into resources
Businesses have been making huge losses by failing to capture the value of industrial waste, but applying circular economy strategies, enabled by new technologies, could create cost-saving opportunities as well as profitable new revenue streams. The waste generated by residential buildings may seem enormous, but the waste produced by factories is an awful lot more. In Europe, factories produce 46 million metric tons more waste than households every year.
The massive emissions-cutting and cost-saving potential of chemical reuse
Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - 12:45am Chemicals used in products such as plastics and fertilizers are scrutinized for their negative impact on the environment and human health. Surprisingly, chemicals used for acids and lubricants receive much less attention, yet when managed improperly, the detrimental effects of these processes are no better. Most industrial sectors use chemicals at some stage in their processes, from automotive to life sciences, and consumer products to oil and gas.
HouseZero: Renovating a 1920’s house to make it energy net positive
A 1920’s house in Cambridge, Massachusetts is currently being refitted in a way which could transform the building industry. The headquarters of the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities has been equipped with a number of contemporary technologies, as part of an attempt to prove that ordinary houses can be renovated to a point where they are almost entirely self-reliant from an energy perspective, all while cutting costs in the process.
Why reverse logistics is an essential part of a circular economy
For a long time, reverse logistics has been seen only as logistics going in the “wrong direction”. But that should no longer be the case. Today return flows are becoming the norm rather than the exception. In the last 15 years, more than 260 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies, which drive return flows, have been adopted worldwide.
Could eBay become your ‘personal inventory of things’?
Optimise resource yields by circulating products, components, and materials at the highest utility at all times Sound familiar? Whilst it might not roll off the tongue, it’s a core principle of the circular economy, and basically, means that we should keep products and materials in use where possible.
What does material innovation look like in a circular economy?
Impressive technological and innovative individual business solutions have been developed throughout the industrial revolution, and more recently, many of those are taking advantage of the additional value propositions created by the circular economy model.
Capitalising on circular economy in the mobile phone industry
Mobile phones are often held up as the example of the linear economy. Highly valuable and mostly unrecoverable materials produced into a small device with a short lifespan, which generally ends up as weight in a person’s drawers. However, in the first volume of the Towards the circular economy report series, mobile phones were identified as a significant circular economy business opportunity, and recent sales figures may be vindicating that research.
Reversible reaction: Even chemicals can be leased
At least 140,000 chemicals are used globally in a wide variety of products and processes. While they largely contribute to the economy, they expose human health and the environment to major risks. Image: Dipali S / stock.adobe.com For a long time, organisations have undertaken incremental measures to marginally reduce those risks, but are often bumping up against the limits of what they can accomplish using a traditional approach.
Ikea to sell affordable solar battery solution
A new announcement on the availability of batteries by Ikea could make solar electricity more attractive to potential customers, potentially reducing electricity bills by hundreds of pounds. Ikea, in partnership with UK panel provider Solar Century, has said that it will start selling batteries for rooftop solar panels as part of a new solar system. Storage technologies have been typically expensive in the past, a key obstacle to wider adoption of solar power.
Why biology holds the key to the future of design and manufacturing
It is becoming increasingly apparent that transitioning towards a more restorative and regenerative economic model that decouples economic prosperity from the consumption of finite resources will necessitate the breaking down of the silos created across business, education and the broader economy, on which a linear, take-make-dispose system has thrived. The emerging discipline of synthetic biology sits at the crux of the intersection between design, biology, computing and manufacturing.
Three stories from the frontline of circular design - Circulate
If you don’t look too closely, you could convince yourself that the linear economy kind of works on a day to day basis. Inertia is understandable: the circular economy might seem like a great idea for the future, but making meaningful investments in re-thinking, re-designing and re-tooling now can seem like a risk. Incumbent business can, should and are taking a leading role in the shift to a circular economy, and will get attention for doing so.
Singapore company introduces new air conditioning as a service model
The world needs to re-think how it stays cool and Singapore-based company Kaer Water may have the answers. They aim to revolutionise air conditioning building management by combining a breakthrough technology with a new business model that has already been trialled successfully in other sectors, including lighting. Rising temperatures and a rapidly expanding global middle class are increasing demand for air-conditioning worldwide.
What does the sharing economy mean for a circular economy?
With startup success stories, acres of media coverage and stacks of investment, for better or worse the sharing economy has earned its place on the hype cycle of new trends and technologies in recent years. Use of the term and development of models have grown in parallel with the circular economy and the two concepts are clearly linked. This article will aim to answer some of the basic questions. What exactly do we mean by the term “sharing economy”? How does it relate to the circular economy?
