‼️As resource use & emissions rise, the #CircularEconomy (CE) is emerging as a key strategy to cut waste, raw material demand, #Energy use & #GHG emissions. 👉 Our #CircEUlar partner @bokuvienna.bsky.social reviewed 75 studies on 500+ CE measures: circeular.org/new-review-c...
Situating the circular economy and its aim to narrow, slow, and close material cycles vis-à-vis global material cycles, energy use, and GHG emissions. (a) Locating the micro-/meso-level 10R measures (40) and their envisioned macro-level outcomes of narrower, slower, and more closed material cycles. (b) Global economy-wide resource use patterns and the resulting waste and emissions, differentiating resources used for energy provision, food, and feed, from the materials processed into long-lived material stocks and short-lived products. Data taken from Reference 8. (c) Global GHG emissions by sector including upstream emissions from electricity and heat provision. Data taken from References 7 and 56.
