Ragn-Sells view on Circular Economy
If we are serious about creating a sustainable society, we need to use the materials we already have, over and over again.
According to the UN, the extraction and processing of natural resources account for about 50 percent of climate change, 90 percent of biodiversity loss, and 90 percent of the threat to access to water.
Transitioning to a circular economy is crucial to our ability to mitigate climate change, the depletion of our natural resources, and the risk of overshooting planetary boundaries. But the current view on waste stands in the way of this transition.
