Application deadline is 31 May 2020! Apply for the Raw Materials and Circular Societies Prize!
Resource-efficient cities and industries The World Bank estimates the amount of municipal solid waste will increase from 1.3 to 2.2 billion tons per year by 2025, with most of this increase coming from cities in developing nations. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in the consumer goods sector alone about 80 percent of the USD 3.2 trillion value is irrecoverably lost annually. The linear take-make-waste industrial model is no longer viable in the face of rapid population growth, resource constraints, climate change, urbanization, water insecurity and other trends. A more regenerative model offers a viable opportunity to successfully tackle [...]
EIT RawMaterials publishes Position Paper on Raw Materials and Circular Societies Lighthouse contributing to the EU Green Deal and Global Goals
