The circular economy is the world’s secret weapon in enhancing national climate plans and achieving our shared climate ambitions.
International climate agreements are mostly implemented and translated into action through national climate plans. What could be the role of a circular economy in national action plans?

The circular economy offers OEMs in the enterprise technology market new revenue streams, improved sustainability and enhanced brand protection.

Today’s technology manufacturing landscape is one of balance between meeting consumer hyper-demands for “the next big thing” and carefully managing finite resources. The circular economy is a global movement that attempts to strike that balance through reverse logistics, repair strategies and sustainable reuse. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) participating in the circular economy are leveraging sustainable practices to extend product lifecycles and capture value long after the initial product sale.
