 3 billion more middle-class consumers expected to be in the global economy by 2030  80% rise in steel demand projected from 2010 – 2030  147% increase in real commodity prices since the turn of the century  100% increase in the average cost to bring a new oil well on line over the past decade  The report also identifies 15 opportunities that could deliver about 75% of the resource productivity benefits

 ‘cannot turn pots back into clay’  ‘extracts fossil fuels and ores at one end and transforms them into commodities and waste products’

Ellen Macarthur Foundation: circular economycircular economy Introduction to the circular economy Reactions?

 A powerful prism through which to examine the impact of industry and technology on the biophysical environment  Examines local, regional and global uses and flows of materials and energy in products, processes, industrial sectors and economies

 Porritt encourage s businesses to ‘match the metabolism of the natural world’-- biomimicry ‘Buildings that, like trees, produce more energy than they consume and purify their own waste water’ ‘Products that, when their useful life is over, do not become useless waste but can be tossed on to the ground to decompose and become food for plants and animals and nutrients for soil’

 It depends on how efficiently we use the materials and energy in economic production  Lovins gave the example of improving a pipe system by straightening the pipe and enlarging its diameter, thus reducing the energy needed to pump fluid through it.

 ‘The first of natural capitalism's four interlinked principles, therefore, is radically increased resource productivity. Implementing just this first principle can significantly improve a firm's bottom line, and can also help finance the other three. They are › redesigning industry on biological models with closed loops and zero waste › shifting from the sale of goods (for example, light bulbs) to the provision of services (illumination) › reinvesting in the natural capital that is the basis of future prosperity’

 Factor 4 (von Weizsäcker et al. 1997); updated as Factor 5 (2009)  ‘Picking up where Factor Four left off, this new book examines the past 15 years of innovation in industry, technical innovation and policy. It shows how and where factor four gains have been made and how we can achieve greater factor five or 80%+ improvements in resource and energy productivity and how to roll them out on a global scale to retool our economic system, massively boost wealth for billions of people around the world and help solve the climate change crises.’

 Focuses on the workflow within and between enterprises to improve time management and reduce costs. Seven principles: › 1. Organize around outcomes, not tasks. › 2. Identify all the processes in an organization and prioritize them in order of redesign urgency. › 3. Integrate information processing work into the real work that produces the information. › 4. Treat geographically dispersed resources as though they were centralized. › 5. Link parallel activities in the workflow instead of just integrating their results. › 6. Put the decision point where the work is performed, and build control into the process. › 7. Capture information once and at the source.

 Work in pairs  Read through the case-study and consider the efforts the company has already made to address the sustainability agenda  Now rethink the business entirely using the model of the circular economy: what changes could you propose to the CEO  How would you justify these ideas strategically?

Denmark as a renewables’ success story: ‘ Denmark’s emergence as a leader in the renewable energy sector represents a remarkable transformation. Despite lacking almost entirely in hydroelectric resources and without the strong biomass tradition of its Scandinavian neighbours, the government has used policies to build up one of the biggest renewable energy sectors in the world.’ (IEA 2006, p. 9) - 20,000 jobs - 50% of world market in wind turbine manufacture

 Govt subsidy of 30% on all new wind power investment from 1980 – 1990  ‘Energipakken’ – forcing electricity distribution companies to take quotas of renewable linked to rising targets  Feed-in-tariff (FIT) guaranteed price – 84% of costs for green energy from 1993  Support for local and collective ownership  Distance regulation + consumption laws  Growth of coops = 84% of turbine ownership, 12% of population  Growth of democratic associations – Danish Wind Turbine Owners Assoc.
