"Every year, the world adds 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste to our
combined rubbish pile, according to UN figures – the decaying organic
parts of which contribute five per cent of global greenhouse gas
emissions. We need to find a way to reduce waste, and the answer could
be moving to a circular economy, which seeks to design out wastage by
making use of byproducts and reusing materials. “The circular economy is
an excellent way to deal with many of the major crises that we are
facing,” says Anne Velenturf, a circular economy researcher at the
University of Leeds. “Producing stuff takes a lot of energy, and if we
make better use of our products then we also save much of the carbon
embodied in them.”"
