CIRCULAR ECONOMY Reuse, Repurpose And Recycle Current situation We are currently living within a linear economy: take – make – waste. We take natural resources, make products out of them, use the products quickly and then throw them away when we’re finished or bored of them which creates significant (and avoidable) waste from that material. A linear economy model What is a circular economy? We know we can’t continue to live like this, however. We can’t keep throwing waste into landfill, we must look for opportunities to either keep the material and products in use for longer, or create these products from materials that have prolonged shelf lives. A circular economy is a continuous cycle of processes that sees material "stay 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.”* A circular economy model** Why do we want a circular economy? A circular economy will reduce waste, improve productivity, reduce environmental impacts and increase opportunities for growth and diversification, as well as focus on society-wide benefits. The aim of a circular economy is to design out waste and pollution and regenerate natural systems. What does this mean for John Lawrie? We aim to accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular economy. We are continually seeking new ways to reuse and recycle redundant materials in order to deliver significant environmental and monetary benefits for a sustainable future for our employees, clients, customers and communities.
