−	~~The latest buzz words in the market are '~~circular economy~~'. Given~~ the ~~phenomenal rise~~ of ~~circular economy thinking~~ in ~~recent years~~, ~~the waste hierarchy as it stands may no longer be a valid starting point for business~~.	+	A circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. (ref [https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/what-is-the-circular-economy Ellen MacArthur Foundation])

−	'~~Business as usual~~' ~~sees contractors and~~ the ~~supply chain following the waste hierarchy; reduce~~, ~~reuse~~ and ~~recycle, to a greater~~ or ~~lesser extent. But the concept of the circular economy goes beyond the 3 R~~'~~s and aims to maximise total material resource efficiency~~.	+	This is in contrast to the traditional 'linear' model which is based on the concept of 'make, break, and discard' or 'take, make waste'.

−	~~The traditional 'linear' model preaches the concept of 'make, break, and discard'.~~ The circular economy is a concept in which everything is engineered to be constantly reused or recycled. It requires rethinking of design, manufacturing, selling, re-using, recycling and consumer ownership to keep resources in use for as long as possible and to extract maximum value.	+	The circular economy is a concept in which everything is engineered to be constantly reused or recycled. It requires rethinking of design, manufacturing, selling, re-using, recycling and consumer ownership to keep resources in use for as long as possible and to extract maximum value.

−	~~There is massive economic advantage for businesses adopting a circular economy. The Department for Environment~~, ~~Food~~ and ~~Rural Affairs (Defra) calculates profit of up~~ to ~~£23 billion per year for UK businesses through low cost~~ or ~~no cost improvements and McKinsey estimates a global value of $3~~.~~7 trillion per year (ref.

−	~~The Dutch are hot favourites in~~ the ~~race to becoming a~~ circular economy and Japan has already shown a huge success in changing their linear manufacturing and consumption system into a more circular, collaborative system. The approach adopted by Japan is highly effective and contributes a significant proportion of the ~~country~~'s ~~GDP, employing hundreds of thousands of people~~.	+

−	~~As the EU set new~~, ~~challenging waste targets~~ and ~~reviews proposals~~ to ~~ban sending plastics, wood, textiles~~ and ~~food to landfill, the~~ circular economy ~~may be the answer to our resource and employment challenges~~.	+	There is massive economic advantage for businesses adopting a circular economy. The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) calculates profit of up to £23 billion per year for UK businesses through low cost or no cost improvements and McKinsey estimates a global value of $3.7 trillion per year (ref.
