Why is it so important to expedite the Circular Economy?
Most of us are aware by now that there is an urgent need to protect the world’s ecosystems and reduce the carbon emissions that come from the creation, distribution and disposal of waste. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, over 10 billion tonnes of waste are produced each year worldwide. This has always been a by-product of our daily lives and every sector of the economy, and it pollutes our land and waterways, depletes natural resources and contaminates the air we breathe.
