Circular Economy
Innovation and Partnerships for
Inclusive and Sustainable Industrialization

In today’s economy
• 65 billion tons of raw materials per year (22kg/person/day) are
extracted, harvested and used
• Only 7% of these materials are reused or recycled
• About 8 million tons of plastics enter the oceans every year
• 300 tons of gold is buried in 50 million tons of electronic waste every year
• 40 % of GHG emissions are attributable to materials management
• Waste of
• Resources
• Economic value
• Business opportunities
• Environment as a resource: Soil / water / air
Linear versus circular economy
Take action to close the loops at every stage

Brought together:
six countries of the European Union’s Eastern Partnership (Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine)
in particular Ministries of the Environment and Ministries of the Economy
European Union and other donors
four implementing organisations (OECD, UNECE, UNEP, UNIDO)
Implementation period: 2013-2018

Mid size Industry programs on Materials and Energy
Efficiency
• Waste collection and landfill disposal < 1 job per 1,000 tons
managed, recycling materials creates 6-13 jobs
• 40-800 times more gold in 1t of Printed Wiring Boards (PWB)
than in 1t of ore
UNIDO ‘Greening’ of scrap metals for secondary metal production

E-Waste management
9
 A circular economy should increase reuse, recycling, remanufacture and the
life of products
• Products may still contain banned which can disrupt re-use, recycling, and
remanufacturing
• Recycling of POPs-containing products may spread POPs contamination posing
trade-offs among the environmental, economic and health dimensions
• Trade in secondary materials, standards needed
Finished / Ongoing:
 Uganda, Tanzania, Cambodia
 The Philippines
 Cote D’Ivoire
 Regional e-waste project for Latin America

How we utilise resources has a significant impact on achieving the SDGs
SOCIETY + ECONOMY PLANET + RESOURCES
• The challenge for developing regions – staged to undergo
radical growth and transformation over the coming decades
• Is to find the balance between socio-economic development
and resource conservation and protection – hinged around
how we utilise our resources
• The “Circular Economy” provides us with a clear strategy to
achieve this
