Abstract
RRfW has been working with academia, government and industry to develop a shared vision for the transition to a circular economy. This reports captures the industry perspectives, with participants from a range of industries with interests in UK resource and waste management. The industry view on the future changes required to enable a circular economy aligned well the academia and government perspectives, although industry gave less priority to wellbeing and human rights. A range of important barriers were identified, strikingly all within government’s control to change. Six key actions for industry were identified, including embedding extended producer responsibility within corporate responsibility policy, engaging with policy development, innovating processes and business models, and educating staff and consumers about resource recovery to support behavioural change. The report is discussed in more detail in the following RRfW blog.
