Pathways to a circular economy –how and where to start?The scene is set. The world’s population is growing, and isbecoming more urban and more affluent in the process.Scientists warn that human activities and their imprint onthe planet have already moved outside the safe operatingspaces of several systems. Others – like World Wildlife Fundin its Living planet report – warn that we need more thanone and a half planets to sustain ourselves given currenthuman activities, and will need more than two planets by2030 if we do not change course.The circular economy model is one way of thinking aboutthe change that is needed. Intuitively, it already makessense as it focuses on how companies relate to each otherthrough the cycles of producing, using, and renewing goodsand services. Furthermore, it fits with the direction theworld is heading – reflecting on the three trends of resourcescarcity, clean technology and the emerging bio-age.The questions that remain are where and how we cantranslate this idea into practice, and get started on buildingpathways to a circular economy – pathways that representthe circular economy that is already within reach ofbusinesses.– The circular economymodel is one way ofthinking about thechange that is needed.20/73PORT OF ROTTERDAM / RABOBANKPATHWAYS TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
