“Extraction of materials is a chief culprit in climate change and biodiversity loss—a challenge that will only worsen unless the world urgently undertakes a systemic reform of resource use, [...] Such a reform is both necessary and possible.”
“Excessive consumption of resources also generates waste and emissions, worsening the climate crisis. We must reduce waste and maximize resource efficiency. We also need to diversify our supply sources and promote circularity to reuse and recycle resources.”
“We need those who produce waste to design products that use fewer resources and materials, while managing waste across production cycles and extending the lives of the products they sell. […] It’s time to clean up our world, and make progress towards circular, zero-waste economies — for people and planet alike.”
