PICK YOUR FAVOURITE OBJECT ? Q: What do you like about it? How could it be improved?
WHAT PROCESS DID YOUR OBJECT GO THROUGH TO FIND ITS WAY INTO YOUR HANDS? EXAMPLE: Crisps They were taken to a factory where they were baked, sliced and processed. 2 Potatoes were grown, then harvested 1 4 3 I bought them at the shop The crisps were baked then put into a bag 6 5 The packet will go to the dump Then I ate them
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE REORGANISE THE CRISPS EXAMPLE AND TURN IT INTO A TIMELINE?
HERE IS A SIMPLIFIED LOOK AT THEPRODUCTION PROCESS Make a list: what are the problems this system will run into?
SO HERE IS THE PUZZLE: WE NEED TO CREATE ANINDUSTRIAL SYSTEM WHICH • Uses resources without using them up • Keeps the resources at high quality • Produces less – or no – waste • Produces no toxins • Restores the biosphere • Strengthens the economy • Allows people to live the life of their choosing
HERE IS A QUOTE WE RATHER LIKE: “The goods of today are the resources of tomorrow at the resource prices of yesterday” - WALTER STAHEL
USE REPAIR REMANUFACTURE
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY In a sentence, describe the circular economy...
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY The circular economy offers the opportunity to move away from our"take - make - dispose" model, by ensuring, through careful design and innovative business models, that technical and biological materials continuously flow, safeguarding valuable resources and restoring natural capital.
A USEFUL MOTTO “Do not repair what is not broken, do not remanufacture something that can be repaired, do not recycle a product that can be remanufactured.” - WALTER STAHEL
