The challenges facing today’s circular economy are on a global scale. The team at the Institute believe the best way of meeting these challenges is to take a two-pronged approach, researching and perfecting established circular systems like Germany’s at the same time as transferring their knowledge to emerging economies around the world. The only way of doing this is as part of a network of stakeholders at international level, which is why we are a member of the Prevent Waste Alliance.
The notion of the circular economy is crucial to creating a sustainable, global society. The only way to secure a future worth living for future generations is to ensure that advanced, sustainable material flow systems are established all over the world. Excluding harmful substances from the production cycle is also an important part of a circular economy in its own right.
