Circular economy in the plastics industry
Plastic pollution became and continues to be a vast human made environmental disaster. This white paper provides you with a perspective on and navigator for transforming the plastics industry into a more future proof and circular industry basing upon more broad circular economy standard works, that show the possibilities and necessities for implementing a circular business model, incl. e.g. the 7R’s (rethink, reduce, re-use, repair, refurbish, recover, recycle).
Students report on their visit at CIVAG
We had the opportunity to welcome a highschool class to the topic of circular economy. This is their original report in German.
Was ist Kreislaufwirtschaft?
Die Kreislaufwirtschaft hat zum Ziel, Produkte, Materialien, Ressourcen effizient und so lange wie möglich (wieder-)zuverwenden. Das lineare Wirtschaftssystem basiert darauf, natürliche Rohstoffe abzubauen, für Produktherstellung zu verwenden, zu konsumieren und anschliessend wegzuwerfen. Diese «Wegwerfgesellschaft» führt zu Ressourcenverknappung, unnötigen Mengen an Abfall und einer hohen Umweltverschmutzung.
