Here’s what's needed to build a circular economy: Part 2.

We’ll share data and reinvent infrastructure: Modular projects and infrastructure marketplaces are scalable, and are crucial for the development of more circular models in the Netherlands and beyond. These projects demonstrate the vast potential of construction to slash emissions. For instance, in the Netherlands, circular bridges and viaducts can reduce Co2 emissions by up to 63%, and virgin steel consumption by up to 60% simply through the reuse of steel elements.

We'll drive investment towards early-stage innovation: As we start to understand the linkages between investing in the circular plastics value chain and climate change outcomes, recycling and circular economy investments must become part of the consideration set for climate-oriented investors. The case for institutional capital to step up has never been stronger, and we need financial institutions to begin allocating their capital to recycling and circular economy if we want to stem the tide.

A circular economy will make repair easier: Repair will become easier and cheaper as more providers enter the market. Self-repair should also become easier for a range of products (including smartphones), as repairability, availability of spare parts and documentation / instructions increase, while repair cafes will continue to demystify repair and provide consumers with a more affordable way of extending the lifespans of their gadgets and appliances.

We’ll make waste a thing of the past: A circular economy eliminates the concept of waste altogether, moving us into a more closed-loop system where materials and products are kept in use as long as possible. In doing so, the circular economy tackles some of our greatest social and environmental challenges while unlocking $4.5 trillion in economic value by 2030.

以下是建立循環經濟所需的內容:第 2 部分。我們將分享數據並重塑基礎設施:模組化專案和基礎設施市場具有可擴展性,對於荷蘭及其他地區開發更多循環模型至關重要。這些項目展示了建築業在減少排放方面的巨大潛力。例如,在荷蘭,僅透過鋼製元件的再利用,圓形橋樑和高架橋就可以減少高達 63% 的二氧化碳排放量,並減少高達 60% 的原生鋼材消耗。

我們將推動早期創新投資:當我們開始了解循環塑膠價值鏈投資與氣候變遷結果之間的關聯時,回收和循環經濟投資必須成為面向氣候的投資者考慮的一部分。機構資本介入的理由從未如此強烈,如果我們想遏制這一潮流,我們需要金融機構開始將其資本配置到回收和循環經濟中。

循環經濟將使維修變得更容易:隨著更多供應商進入市場,維修將變得更容易、更便宜。隨著可修復性、備件和文件/說明的可用性的增加,一系列產品(包括智慧型手機)的自助維修也應該變得更加容易,而維修咖啡館將繼續揭開維修的神秘面紗,並為消費者提供一種更實惠的方式來延長使用壽命他們的小工具和電器。

我們將使浪費成為過去:循環經濟完全消除了浪費的概念,使我們進入一個更閉環的系統,在該系統中,材料和產品可以盡可能長時間地使用。透過這樣做,循環經濟可以解決我們面臨的一些最大的社會和環境挑戰,同時在 2030 年釋放 4.5 兆美元的經濟價值。
