CSEN April Talk : The Circular Economy
In our current post-industrial revolution society, we have a largely 'linear' economy where we take resources from the ground to make products, which we use, and, when we no longer want them, throw them away. This has a huge impact on the natural world. For example, 45% of global CO2e emissions arise from the manufacture, consumption and disposal of products and materials, through the management of land, and the production of food and goods (so-called 'consumption-based emissions'). This linear economy model clearly requires a rethink and creating a circular economy, based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems, may be the solution.
