Circular Economy
A circular economy is an
alternative to a traditional
linear economy (= make,
use, waste) 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.

Why Circular Economy?
10
.....is it about going green?
It’s about this kind of green
11
• Decoupling growth from resource consumption
• Growing and consuming, but with a fixed or renewable stock of
materials
• Conception for disassembling, return, reuse, repair, refurbish,...
• “Sell services, not products.”
• Material banking
• It is a global and cross-sector approach
• Product responsibility stays with the manufacturer
• Replace raw material costs with labour costs
• Products are stocks of well defined reusable materials
• It is not about a perfect circle
Circular Economy - Key messages
12
Circular Economy - Potential
• Generate €300 million to €1 billion EUR
annual net-material cost savings
• 2.200 jobs especially for young unemployed
in the next years if robustly applied in the
construction, automotive, manufacturing,
financial, logistics, R&D, and administrative
sectors.
• Being less independent on the financial
sector.
Circular Economy - Action plan examples
• EcoBusinessParc
• Construction & excavation waste program
• Residential Building Pilot
• Database on material flow
• Reverse logistics
• CE Finance initiative (KPMG)
• LCA / balance sheet
• ECEN / European Circular Economy Network
