The Circular Economy Handbook

This handbook is intended for business support organisations and provides practical guidance they can use when advising companies on circular opportunities and implementation. By applying circular economy thinking, businesses can redesign processes so that by-products and discarded materials become inputs for new uses, resource consumption is reduced, and loops are closed across the value chain, capturing the idea that one actor’s leftovers can become another actor’s feedstock.
