CircularEconomy

#CircularEconomy trends and solutions - Achieving the #SDGs through Circularity - new economy models - ClimateChange, energy and resource efficiency

[Radhika Kalia @radhikakkalia]

The movement towards sustainability will see an uptake in the 21st century as the waste gets transformed into resources. Studies have suggested that India alone can generate close to 30,000 crores as revenue per annum if we can appropriately treat solid, wet & construction waste.

AMAZON FRAUD: @Chevron claims it "cleaned" some of its 1,000 unlined waste pits in Ecuador by running dirt over the toxic sludge — sort of like treating cancer with a band-aid. People live on these mounds thinking they are safe. Criminal.

Chevron: pay to clean up your poison.

A new study makes a fundamental shift in our thinking on the consequences of carbon taxes. Far from curbing economic growth, carbon taxes can deliver positive effects in the long run. How https://t.co/na01GhICxb

Net-zero commitments are quickly gaining traction.

But what does net-zero mean? Why is it net? And why is it not zero? Imagine a bathtub filling with water to find out ⬇️ https://t.co/XZuA8NSrMB

We would need 1.5 Earths to sustainably support our current global resource use.

Rampant consumption has devastating effects for humans, wildlife and the planet. We must shift from linear, use-it-up-and-throw-it-away models to a circular economy: https://t.co/SOdsgECcck

BREAKING: Major leak from oil pipeline in Ecuador's Amazon happening in real time. Saw many of these in @Chevron's oil fields; they were rarely remediated.

The oil and gas industry treats our ecosystem like a trash bin. Thanks @AFrontlines for exposing.

To stay within the limits of 🌍#planetaryboundaries we neef to craft the #CircularEconomy NOW - reduce consumption, reuse material, close loops and #phaseout hazards https://t.co/P7sfirEy3N

[World Resources Institute @WorldResources]

.@circleeconomy's new report shows that more than half a trillion tonnes of virgin materials have been consumed since the 2015 #ParisAgreement.

It also shows how #CircularEconomy solutions can keep the world on track to limit global warming to 1.5°C. ⬇️

.@UNEP’s report ‘The Role of Business in Moving from Linear to Circular Economies’ states how a rapid shift from businesses to a more circular economy, could dramatically cut resource use and deliver a low carbon and lower environmental future. Read here: https://t.co/lz56dzPCuR

[Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy @PACEcircular]

As part of #PreCOP26, youth delegates have called for circular economy actions on tourism, fashion, and food sectors to answer the climate change challenges. Check out their aspirations in The #Youth4Climate Manifesto: https://t.co/kEeyExUIdF

[African Circular Economy Network (ACEN) @AfriCANcircular]

This is a perfect example of how "waste" can be turned into a valuable commodity.
Make sure to watch this discussion with Himkaar Singh of The Compost Kitchen regarding their organic waste solution.

Here is a glimpse of the unveiling of our first reverse vending machine. It's time to #RushToCrush to ensure a #plasticfree future.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Less than one third (!) of Sweden’s total CO2 emissions are included in our climate targets, and we’re not even close to reaching those targets…

How can we solve - or even discuss - a crisis if we ignore more than two thirds of the problem?

A first step a company can take to take action #ForNature is to create a materiality assessment. @MetabolicHQ's Louisa Durkin discusses supply chain action for #biodiversity in today's ISSP technical series webinar. #GenerationRestoration

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

”A leaked document showed more than 124,000 items marked as 'destroy' in just a week.”

This is just ONE warehouse.
If you have a system where this possible - and even profitable - that’s a clear sign that something is fundamentally wrong.

[Plastic Energy @plasticenergy]

As a follow-up to last week's post about our support for #EPR for #packaging, it's great to see that Maine is paving the way for Extended Producer Responsibility schemes in the US 🇺🇸 to encourage #recycling ♻️ https://t.co/ylCYFOdmqZ
