The #CircularEconomy is becoming a (fragmented) megatrend. We have identified, mapped and deeply analysed 75 national circular economy roadmaps which include 2882 circular economy policies (across 17 sectors)! Read the report here: circulareconomy.earth/publications/g…

@wire_brigade @istabreeze @PhotonicUni @ecocars1 @KateFantom Thanks for those update! I was just a out to by an Ista! So you saved me. Would be great to know how the Photonic is running - particularly how it fairs in +40mph winds! Did you need to install a heat dump?

Removed another useless @istabreeze turbine from one of our other test sites and installed a @PhotonicUni WTD unit with tail furling. Windy in Orkney today but good results on start up. @ecocars1 @KateFantom #orkney

Read our new Synergies article by Jack Barrie @thinkcircles and Gael Grooby @WCO_OMD on how improvements to the WCO's HS could facilitate the transition to a circular economy bit.ly/3NA5q3f

It also lists criteria in which the opinion of the experts was most divergent and likely in need of further discussion. #CircularEconomy @circulareconomy @circleeconomy @WWF

It identifies a short list of criteria that may be relevant to identify polymers and chemicals of concern, as well as problematic plastic products, which received high levels of agreement between the group of experts.

Success of the #PlasticsTreaty depends upon objective definitions for chemicals and polymers of concern and problematic plastic products. This timely and important report seeks to bring clarity to this topic. #INC3 circulareconomy.earth/publications/e…

Challenge 3: The global circular economy policy and legislative landscape is becoming increasingly fragmented and does not provide the necessary enabling conditions for encouraging circular finance

Challenge 2: most intended users of a taxonomy lack awareness of, or are underprepared for, the myriad technical and procedural challenges in meeting the ambitious circular economy substantial contribution criteria

The #CircularEconomy faces a severe financing gap. Our latest paper outlines how sustainable finance taxonomies can help but also the challenges in embedding circularity within these taxonomies. chathamhouse.org/2023/06/making…

@AnneVelenturf 🤣

@thinkcircles What a glaring gap there in Europe on the British Isles...🤔

The circular economy is really becoming global. Over 49 national #circulareconomy roadmaps and strategies launched or under development. How we collaborate more together as a global community to make sure these roadmaps work for all? #WCEF2022

Did I miss any?
