Summary
The circular economy roadmap addresses and meets global opportunities, illustrating how the chemical industry can contribute to circular economy through new products, new manufacturing processes, and re-use, re-processing, re-forming and other circular activities. Incorporating KAITEKI principles of consumer, worker and community well-being -- the sociosphere -- with traditional circular economy principles merging the biosphere and technosphere, this project will develop a next-generation circular economy roadmap specific to the chemical industry. The project will include literature review and stakeholder engagement to identify and assess innovation needs and priorities.
