Industry
A circular economy would reduce the cost of materials and production, which in turn
creates savings for industries.
Industry Infrastructure & Technology
Investment is needed to create the systems and industries that allow for goods and
materials to re-enter the production cycle.
Industries
often choose a material because they are economically advantageous, but this
also means the material can have low residual value.
