In a circular economy, all sectors work together. Therefore, the principles of circular design are cross-sectoral. Yet within each sector there are specific issues of circularity. In the Netherlands, we have identified five sectors that on the one hand are incredibly important for our economy, but on the other hand have a large environmental burden. For construction, consumer goods, plastics, manufacturing, and food & agri, we delve into the circular opportunities.
Circular design has a big role to play in making impact sectors more sustainable. Find out what's going on in circularity in each of these sectors here.
