The circular economy can be defined as an ideal, zero-waste economy where the materials we use every day follow a closed-loop, circular journey that starts with manufacturing and utilization and then moves into reuse, repair, redistribute, refurbish, remanufacture and sometimes compost. With a circular economy, everything comes back and is used again in one form or another, minimizing or completely eliminating landfills and incineration. The circular economy differs from the existing linear economy, where things are produced, used and then some things can be reused or recycled, but some things end up in the landfill, oceans or other places they don’t belong. Some types of plastics are especially problematic in terms of recycling, but increasingly, manufacturers are becoming more conscious of the materials they’re producing and using to ensure that they can either be recycled, reused or composted.

Scoular on Tuesday announced the name for its new sustainable and innovative barley-based protein source for aquaculture and pet food: Emerge™. Emerge, both traceable and non-GMO, is the only barley-based protein for feed customers.
“As the demand for clean-label protein grows, both the aquaculture and pet food industries are seeking alternative and sustainable plant-based protein sources,” said Scoular manager JC Olson. “Emerge is a high-quality ingredient to meet the demand for the feed ingredient supply chain.”
How do we transition from a linear ‘take-make-dispose’ system to a circular economy that promotes a more sustainable future? Single-use products that cannot be recycled or reused create vast amounts of waste and endanger the environment. Explore how to operate sustainably and turn waste into new resources by observing the effects that waste has on the environment, and become familiar with tools used to measure these impacts. Through practical examples you will learn more about the principles of circular economy – ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ – and understand some of the most advanced technologies that support a change towards a circular society.
