“The circular economy uses materials and designs products differently for the full life cycle and full system of the product. It keeps products in use much longer and creates sticky customers and improves jobs and skills. In the ladder of circularly, recycling is almost a last resort. We are only going to be able to achieve sustainability and increasing circularity if we collaborate, push through and help each other.”
