A circular economy is the future. This model is based on minimizing the extraction of raw materials and replacing it with resources locked up and forgotten in our waste. Combined with the use of renewable energy, reduced emissions, and greater industry efficiency, a circular economy provides our best chance to live within the bounds of the Earth's capacity. To transition to a circular economy and unlock these benefits, we must all push for change. We need to show government and industry that a circular economy is the future. The key benefits are: (1) Creation of new green industries and jobs (2) Reduced dependence on importation of raw materials (3) Avoidance of environmental damage caused by resource extraction (4) Less pollution entering the earth's life support systems.
My parents own speakers from 40 years ago that still work perfectly fine, in fact, I've not heard better ones to date. They own multiple products that are basically lasting forever because they were built in a time where companies hadn't thought of inbuilt aging to keep themselves alive. If we'd be able to recycle products that can last forerever, we've reached a good point. This will of course never happen since this isn't economically viable in the slightest but one can dream.
For circular economy to work the user must also have the profite. He will not buy a thing and after give away for free. Other question about the circular economy is that: it is not a brake for innovation?
so corporations will essentially own all raw materials in circulation? That sounds a bit iffy..shouldn't it just be that they are responsible for making sure that the goods they manufacture are sustainable and able to be reused.
Rather have them own the materials in circulation than keep mining and exhausting finite resources? I do agree that they should, too, make sure their goods are sustainable and can be reused.
I don't think it is completely necessary for a circular economy, it could also be done by using taxes and subsidies to make it economically more interesting to use recycled materials than newly gathered finite resources. Similarly, we can uses taxes and subsidies to make the more environmentally friendly options in the store also the best for the consumer's wallet.
En fechas recientes, el equipo de Arte Sustentable se entrevistó con este singular personaje, el arquitecto Thomas Rau en sus oficinas en Amsterdam. El motivo de este encuentro era relacionar al famoso empresario arquitecto con nuestro proyecto de Residencias y con la realización de un evento sobre Creatividad, Sustentabilidad, Arte y Desarrollo en México. Pronto más información.
This talk could have been sooo much shorter 😩 if you want the average person to be interested in this concept, you have to make it way simpler as well.

that is, I think too difficult foe some industries, so the alternative solution would be this notion of circular economy

I iagree with Mr. Rau in 100%
I love circular economy, I am from Vietnam
