There has been a lot of discussion over the last few years about how industries and businesses need to adapt their strategies to take into account the Circular Economy (CE). CE is about changing from our dead-end, wasteful ‘take, make, dispose’ linear production strategic approach to one in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life (http://www.wrap.org.uk/about-us/about/wrap-and-circular-economy Accessed 01/10/19).
