We chose these resource streams because of their high volumes
and large environmental footprints as well as their potential for
innovative improvement in terms of recycling, product reuse and
redesign. We prioritised household waste streams because more
public data is available about them than business waste streams.
At the request of the Board’s business partners, we also included
private waste streams from the IT sector, data servers in particular,
and the building, food industry-produced biomass and metals
sectors. Next, I designed an approach for generating and selecting
the most promising options for closing the loop of each resource
stream. If applied flexibly, the approach is generic and can be
easily modified for application in other circular strategies.
