WINNER: 2018 Les Plumes des Achats & Supply Chain - The Committee Special Prize
As we learn more about the climate and biodiversity crisis, it is clear that how we make and consume things is a major part of the problem. Extraction and processing of materials, fuels and food makes up about half of global greenhouse gas emissions and over 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress. Many modern businesses deplete resources, destroy ecosystems and dump waste and pollution at every stage - harming human health along the way.
Governments, businesses and think-tanks see the circular economy as the way forward. Now in its second edition, A Circular Economy Handbook is a guided tour through the concepts and the practicalities. A unique framework systematically explores the range of circular interventions, including product and supply chain design, material choice and supporting business models.
How does it really work for business? What circular approaches are emerging in food, fashion, consumer technology, packaging and other sectors? How do these reduce risk, improve resilience and build profitable, future-fit organizations? With over 300 real examples from around the world, this is a must-read for businesses, students and policymakers. This new edition has been extensively updated to include the latest trends, thinking, research and solutions, with a new chapter on packaging and 30 new company snapshots.
Catherine Weetman helps businesses thrive by using fair, regenerative and circular approaches that are better for people, planet and profit. She founded Rethink Global in 2013, to support organizations that want to explore how circular and regenerative approaches create value. She is a Mentor and Group Leader for the Circular Economy Club, a member of the Strategic Foresight Board for the Circular Economy Alliance, and a member of the advisory board for UKMSN+. She also hosts the Circular Economy Podcast.
