  3. Resilience in the Round: Seizing the Growth Opportunities of a Circular Economy

    Steve Wallace, Director
  4. Aldersgate Group members Other members include peers and MPs from all major parties
  5. Resource Revolution KPMG: Costs of environmental impact doubling every 14 years (based on research looking at 14 sectors between 2002 and 2010). Enrst & Young: 29% of profit warnings issued by FTSE350 companies in 2011 were attributed to rising resource prices. World Economic Forum: A “peak metals” scenario could put US$ 2 trillion (1.7% of GDP) of economic output at risk in 2030 if major global economies fail to respond to shortages in the supply of steel and iron.
  6. Resilience in the Round The Circular Economy: A generic term for an industrial economy that is, by design or intention, restorative and in which materials flows are of two types; biological nutrients, designed to re-enter the biosphere safely, and technical nutrients (non-biological materials), which are designed to circulate at high quality, with their economic value preserved or enhanced.
  7. Resilience in the Round The opportunity Growth, jobs and resilience. EMF and McKinsey - $340bn and $630bn per annum by 2025 in Europe. The enablers Interventions at the early stage of product development Adoption of new business models (based on performance over product ownership) Infrastructure (such as reverse cycles) System changes (industry collaboration and the overarching policy framework) The barriers Progress now but economic, financial, political and cultural barriers remain The timescales Short, medium , long life cycle (new) and long life cycle (existing) products (1) Vision (2) Exploration (3) Mainstream The exploration Collaboration will be vital to gain competitive advantage and unlock economic value. How can the shift to circular economy principles be mainstreamed?

  11. Why Circular Economy? Resource cost, scarcity, and demand growth Energy 54% imported by EU-27; €0.5tr pa oil imported New model for sustainable economic growth Resource Efficient Buildings Innovative retrofit projects to develop evidence base for investment. Total Community Retrofit C2C Sustainable Infrastructure integrated energy, waste, water, information Transport& Logistics Models for large-scale, integrated community level investment and delivery Intelligent low carbon mobility and smarter logistics,
  12. London Sustainable Industries Park and the GED Green Enterprise District Olympic Park London LSIP
  13. LSIP - Initial opportunities for continuous loops Caustic Soda By product nutrients: Water Biogas Paper sludge Packaging Water Closed Loop Input: Plastic bottles Output: Food-grade packaging (PET, HDPE) Process water consumption Warmwater Packaging washing water Plastics Foil Packaging Paper Sludge Biogas to heat water Water Gasification Input: Commercial waste (non-recyclable waste from offices, restaurants and retailers) Output: Power / Energy Process: Gasification AD / IVC Input: Food and garden waste Output: Organic fertilisers Ash Biogas Plastic Foil Packaging Energy
  14. Challenges and Catalysts for 2050 Challenges C2C or/and Sustainability? No underpinning strategy for waste management Strong case for circular economy - how can we accelerate take-up? Catalysts needed Regulation and incentives for systems approach Transitional exemplars for behavioural change: London Sustainable Industries Park Closed loop community - a living laboratory in the Lower Lea Valley.
  15. LSIP current and future position Closed Loop Recycling (Plastics recycling > food grade) Current Status Gasification CHP. Municipal waste - Contract signed Anaerobic digestion. In-Vessel Composting - Contract signed £5m Infrastructure works signed - Starting July 2012 Future opportunities 100% waste free business site 2009 2012 2050
