Title goes here Circular economy the big picture context? • worldviews matter – how we think and learn • science sees a world of dynamic systems (complexity) • economics reflects science • waste = food (two cycles – technical and biological) • shift to renewables • shift from selling goods to services/performance • rebuild/maintain capital to increase useful flows • celebrate diversity – look for effectiveness • prices to reflect full costs to assist markets • money and finance?...what about these flows? "There is nothing so practical as a good theory." Lewin
seventh environment action programme (EAP) sets out a pathway for Europe to move towards a more circular economy, where residual waste is virtually eliminated. The goal is to increase resource productivity and to separate economic growth from resource consumption and environmental impacts.
