The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) has made a Commitment to Action to support the Circular Supply Chain Coalition (CSCC) in implementing local material recovery systems that promote resilient communities.
In a world where our traditional economic systems strain under the weight of inefficiency and waste, a transformative shift is not just a choice but an urgent necessity. With its unsustainable practices, our linear economy can no longer suffice. It has become necessary to fundamentally alter our
thinking about how global supply chains should function and implement a model that reduces waste and maximizes existing resources.
Based on our population’s current consumption levels, sustaining our growth trajectory would require the ecological resources of 2.3 planets by 2050. How can a regenerative and equitable circular economy shift the way we collectively consume? We explore the issue with the CSR team at SAP.
Many of us have an old laptop or tablet sitting in our junk drawer but don’t always know where to dispose of or donate such items. Each year, 50 million tons of e-waste are generated globally. Laptops and tablets often contain precious minerals that must be mined if not reused or recycled. Pyxera Global wants to make it easier for households and businesses to work together to reduce e-waste.
Pyxera Global’s work is founded on the belief that inclusion and the voice of the historically marginalized communities should be front and center for any circular city. Equitable Circular Cleveland showcases the effectiveness of that method by blending Pyxera Global’s multi-sector approach and community-driven ethos with Metabolic’s science-based philosophy.
Developing scalable, regenerative, and equitable solutions for communities across the globe. We can’t recycle our way out of climate change. Sustainable packaging won’t solve inequality.
Transitioning to net zero can significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, an important step to tackling climate change. According to the Net-Zero Challenge several companies committed to reducing their emissions are achieving reductions in emissions.
Transitioning from a linear to a circular economy requires a seismic shift in the way we produce, consume, think, and behave. For a systems change of this magnitude to truly take root, the public, private, and social sectors must coalesce around a common circular vision—one that is inclusive of all communities, at all scales. While each of us has an important function in the transition, the role of the private sector, our economic engine, will be the ultimate catalyst for unprecedented change.
