Review, 37 (2), 114-135


Dumping


Landfilling


Incineration:energy recovery, waste-to-energy


Any alternativesto downcycling or landfilling?

From cradle-to-grave to cradle-to-cradle (C2C):

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

• A new approach to product design

(design is the key phase)

• Products can be conceived as:

– Biological nutrients - the biosphere

– Technical nutrients (avoid

downcycling) – the technosphere

18



• REDUCE (reuse, recycle) vs REGENERATIVE ABUNDANCE

Degrowth vs C2C

EJEMPLO: WWW.BUNDLES.NL

Bundles desarrolló un negocio de pago por lavado (venta de paquetes de ciclos de lavado ('paquetes') en lugar de lavadoras.

USO DE RECURSOS MENOS INTENSIVOS Al adjuntar un dispositivo a sus lavadoras la empresa es capaz de mantener propiedad de las máquinas mientras se controla su uso.

Las estadísticas recogidas en una App de lavado, proporcionan al cliente el costo total de hacer su lavandería, el consumo de energía, agua y detergente.

Esto no sólo reduce los costes para el cliente, sino que también prolonga la vida de la máquina
