Here’s what's needed to build a circular economy: Part 1.

We’ll build ‘hubs’ for circular innovation: 100 billion tons of emissions globally per year exceed the capacity of the planet. The number equates to 40kg per person and day on average globally, including all emissions from CO2 over construction waste to municipal waste. The linear economy has created much prosperity over the last two centuries, but now threatens our livelihoods. Consumers, politicians, entrepreneurs and activists alike are aware of this.

We’ll design new, circular business models: Combining consumer demand and corporate opportunity within the boundaries that the earth provides us has never been this concrete. It all contributes to a society without waste. And that’s exactly what circularity is all about. We will do all we can to be part of this eco system and provide financing to speed up the process to a circular economy. We can all make a world of difference. New models will help us do it together.

We'll design for circularity: In the circular economy, waste is eliminated, products and materials are kept in use throughout their product lifecycle and natural systems are regenerated. Such an approach is dependent on systems designed with a focus on reuse, repair, refurbishment and (when a product can no longer be of use) recycling. That means changing what we produce and how we produce it – both in terms of inputs and when it comes to the end of its first useful life. It can mean adopting modular design, designing for renewable materials, designing for easy repair and disassembly, and designing new products with backwards compatibility in mind, so that parts can have multiple applications and be used longer.

以下是建立循環經濟所需的內容：第 1 部分。我們將建立循環創新「中心」：全球每年有 1000 億噸的排放量超出了地球的承受能力。這個數字相當於全球平均每人每天 40 公斤，其中包括建築垃圾和城市垃圾產生的所有二氧化碳排放量。線性經濟在過去兩個世紀創造了巨大的繁榮，但現在卻威脅著我們的生計。消費者、政治家、企業家和活動家都意識到了這一點。

我們將設計新的循環商業模式：在地球為我們提供的邊界內將消費者需求和企業機會結合起來從未如此具體。這一切都有助於建立一個沒有浪費的社會。這正是循環性的意義。我們將盡一切努力成為這個生態系統的一部分，並提供融資以加速循環經濟的進程。我們都可以讓世界變得不同。新模型將幫助我們共同做到這一點。

我們將進行循環設計：在循環經濟中，廢棄物被消除，產品和材料在整個產品生命週期中保持使用，自然系統可再生。這種方法依賴於以重複使用、維修、翻新和（當產品不再使用時）回收為重點的系統設計。這意味著改變我們生產的產品和生產方式——無論是在投入方面還是在其第一個使用壽命結束時。它可以意味著採用模組化設計、可再生材料設計、易於維修和拆卸的設計、以及向後相容的設計新產品，使零件可以具有多種用途並使用更長時間。
