DRIVERS20Key Learnings►►►►►►►►Every by-product can form the base material for a newproduct.Nature is the best example of how to create efficient processes.Goals like cost reduction and the creation of new lines ofbusiness as well as of additional jobs can be achieved byusing local resources.By following the concept of the Blue Economy, every companycan considerably increase its competitiveness andplay a part in safeguarding a sustainable future.to satisfy all long-term basic needs of theBhutanese people, preserve their culture,and avoid any further rural depopulation.Innovation is the instrument topromote competitiveness, which should,in turn, diversify existing business models.In an initial step, Bhutan has bannedconventional plastics from general use;now only bioplastic is allowed (based onagricultural organic waste) which decomposeson compost heaps once it reachesthe end of its useful life.The country is also resolutely determinedto replace all fossil fuels, not to becomejust carbon-neutral, but carbon-negative.72% of Bhutan is woodland, 40% ofThe country is resolutely determinednot to become just carbon-neutral,but carbon-negative.which are pine trees. Hence, pine treeresin is being tapped and the turpentineused as fuel. Bhutan uses vertical windturbines to produce electricity, whichnow allows for a nationwide supply sincethe turbines can be installed locally. Waterrecovery also plays an important role,and by adopting the principle of vortices,the water is treated without the need forchemical additives. With that and othersimilar initiatives, around 40,000 newjobs are to be created in the future. 2 TheBhutan example clearly illustrates thatusing local resources not only savescosts, but also preserves nature andcontributes to the creation of jobs.The examples presented here permit usto draw the following conclusions:1. Waste materials can be an importantresource for products and/or services.2. Utilizing the laws of physics and biologicalprocesses, and even mathematics,can considerably reduce theuse of energy and chemicals.3. By considering manufacturing processesmore holistically, especially interms of their inputs and outputs, it ispossible to diminish the consumptionof energy and resources while reducingthe production of waste.4. A political will to return to the use oflocal resources and to implement sustainableworking practices can createnew business models and jobs, decreasethe dependency on other countries,and reduce emissions.What Are the Benefits ForCompanies?As illustrated above, the Blue Economyprinciples provide innovations that promotegenuine sustainability and at thesame time enable new business models.All this is possible by making use ofexisting resources – instead of throwingthem away – and with a mind-set whichis comprised of ecological and economicsystem thinking.To put it in concrete terms, a companycould start with creating full transparencyby taking stock of all waste materials,and in a second step consider how itwould be possible to either avoid creatingwaste in the first place or find out howto use the waste as a resource in anotherprocess. This may reveal potential alternativesto the previous manufacturingprocess, which could not only result inefficiency improvements and cost reductionsbut also satisfy the ever-increasingimperative for sustainable businesspractices.
