There is growing awareness that the Circular Economy is a missing link in the Paris agenda and that it is urgent to strengthen the link between Circular Economy and the Climate Change Agenda. A circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from the use of natural resources and ecosystems by using those resources more effectively. During the COP24 climate summit in Katowice in December 2018, a coalition of European circular hotspots presented evidence and best practices of the circular economy as a means to bridge the gap in the climate agenda and identified where there is potential for scaling up.

7. Metabolic: building a sustainable, circular economy
Introduction

8. The basics
Circular economy
“Based on detailed product level
modelling, the report estimates that
the circular economy represents a net
material cost saving opportunity of
USD 340 to 380 billion p.a. at EU level
for a ‘transition scenario’ and USD 520
to 630 billion p.a. for an ‘advanced
scenario’”

29. On average, materials are
used only once in Europe.
(Ellen MacArthur Foundation 2015)
Cars are not used 92-98 % of time.
(Several sources, e.g. EEA 2015; Material Economics 2018)
1/3 of produced food goes
to waste in value chain.
(UN FAO)
The World is full of inefficiencies, loss and waste
Only 9,1 % of the global
economy’s materials
remain in circulation.
(Circle Economy 2018)
Offices are empty 60 % of time.
(GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy 2011)
67 % of global greenhouse gas emissions
are related to material management.
(UNDP 2017)
12 billion tons of plastics waste
will be in landfills or natural
environment by 2050.
(Geyer et al. 2017)

32. Three Circular Economy strategies make better
use of materials to reduce CO2 emissions
More high-value
recycling & less primary
material production
Less material input
needed for improved
production process
Reuse of components
Designing products with
less materials
Fewer products required

33. CO2 emission reduction potential in the EU
by 2050 compared to baseline scenario
for steel, plastics, aluminium and cement
178 Mt of CO2/a or 34 %
by recirculating what has
already been produced:
• 75 % of steel
• 50 % of aluminium
• 56 % of plastics.

56 Mt of CO2/a or 11 %
by reducing the amount of
materials that are lost in
production.
Solutions:
• Material & product design
• Production and construction
techniques
• Digitalisation.
62 Mt of CO2/a or 12 %
by making greater use of resources
in mobility and building sector.
Sharing enables
• more intensive use
• better maintenance
• improved reuse, recycling,
remanufacturing.

34. The measures identified could contribute
3,6 Gt CO2 per year to global efforts
to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The claim on the carbon budget
could be reduced by 333 Gt by 2100.

35. Circularity of materials is inevitable to
meet the targets of the Paris agreement
Production and use of only
four materials - steel, cement,
aluminium and plastics -
fill the remaining
carbon budget by 2100.
Circularity can reduce
the CO2 emissions by
56 % by 2050 in the EU.
“The priority now should be to firmly embed circular
economy measures in the low-carbon agenda.”

67. The Carbon Metric
The Carbon Impacts of the Circular Economy
The Carbon Impacts of the Circular Economy (Zero Waste Scotland, 2015)
By doing more with less, a circular Scottish Economy can deliver steady growth AND improve
sustainability.

68. Scotland’s Carbon Metric - Key
Findings
• In 2016, Scotland generated 10.79
Mt of waste, with an associated
carbon impact of 10.97 MtCO2e

69. Key Findings - Weight v Carbon
• To maximize the climate change benefits of waste management,
there should be a focus on carbon intensive waste materials

70. The Carbon Metric
Burning waste: not low-carbon

71. Opportunities for North East
Scotland
The North East Scotland region is one of the top five most
economically productive areas in the UK – 25% of
Scotland’s food and drink exports are from this area.
Predicted economic benefits in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
from adopting a circular economy are approximately £625
million:
• Construction and built environment sector – £286 million
• Energy infrastructure sector – £250 million
• Food and drink sector, and the wider bio-economy – £52
million
• Manufacturing sector – £37 million

72. Opportunities for Tayside, Scotland
Tayside has a population of more than 490,000 people and is home
to over 15,500 businesses.
In 2014, the Tay Cities economic region generated around 8% of
Scotland’s gross value added (GVA) worth just over £9 billion.
Predicted economic benefits in Tayside from adopting a circular
economy are around £404 million:
• Construction and the built environment sector – £185 million
• Energy infrastructure sector – £186 million
• Manufacturing sector – £19 million
• Food and drink sector, and the wider bioeconomy – £14 million

73. Conclusions for Cities and Regions
• “Inner loops” of CE and waste prevention is the
best way to reduce carbon emissions –
however you need a mechanism to identify and
unlock opportunities.
• To maximize the climate change benefits of
waste management, there should be a focus on
carbon intensive waste materials, such as food
waste in particular
