Pathway to a circular economyStage 1 Business as usualIn this stage, the case for change is not broadly supportedby business leaders. Negative impacts and limitations ofcurrent practices trigger the search for alternativeresources and efficiency gains. New ideas are tested butare confined to the margins. Linear production processesdominate in a market focused on short term competitionand conventional feedstocks and products. Wastereduction is not a priority.Stage 2 Recycling and alternatives take holdIn the second stage, limitations of the linear economybecome clearer, and alternative practices become morecompetitive and shift from single company initiatives tobroader uptake. The case for a system transition growsstronger and coordination and communication betweensuppliers and off-takers increases. Regulatory targets, seton the basis of benchmarking and best practices, requirethe recycling of certain flows and the development ofnew business models for collecting, processing and subsequentuse of waste.34/73PORT OF ROTTERDAM / RABOBANKPATHWAYS TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Pathway to a circular economyStage 3 New markets come upIn stage three, the norm has shifted. The use of alternativepractices reaches a size that demands new infrastructureand new markets. In the emerging circular economy, flowsof by-products are subject to technological innovation thatenables 1) further catabolism/separation of componentsinto raw material, and 2) higher value application of byproductsin other chains. Recycling is the norm and wasteis near zero.Stage 4 The circular economy emergesIn the final stage, the system has transitioned to a stagewhere new technologies, concepts and markets havereplaced older ones. In the circular economy, businessesfind ways to eliminate waste and use all by-products in anefficient manner, either within the same supply chain orthrough partners in different chains.35/73PORT OF ROTTERDAM / RABOBANKPATHWAYS TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
