The Power of Policy

Chapter Chapter 12 in Waste to Wealth, 2015, pp 168-188 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Despite growing support for the circular economy, several barriers threaten to slow the pace of change. These obstacles include inconsistent quality of recycled materials, product designs that lack circular thinking, value chains that rely on products to become obsolete, linear ways of measuring and encouraging growth, limited tools to track and control products throughout the value chain, and a lack of good infrastructure to efficiently recover resources from markets. To scale at speed, the circular economy will clearly require a systems approach spanning areas including policy, technology, investment, and consumers.
