.@wef estimates that the world generated 50 million tonnes of e-waste in 2018. We interviewed @Gerrard_Street about their solution to this challenge: headphones you can lease as a service, and return when you don't need them anymore. #circulareconomy https://t.co/eoRFMqus7P
@nickseguin@britton Cradle to Cradle and The Upcycle (both by Bill McDonough/Michael Braungart) for tangible examples + context. The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken and Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows for bigger picture.
